| | Steve Mount's Letter to Lucasfilm |
 | | Your use of the mark Tatooine as a location in a movie and as a descriptor for the various toys, figures, posters, books, etc., is not harmed by my use of the mark as an address. |
 | | At most, my use of Tatooine in Tatooine.com is as a service mark, which cannot conflict with a trademark used for products unrelated to the service; though USTPO has ruled that domain names are neither trademarks nor service marks; they merely indicate a location on the Internet. |
 | | Though it could well be asserted that Tatooine is famous in certain circles, the famousness of the mark Tatooine declines greatly when dealing with the general public, rather than that subset of the public who are fans of the Star Wars series of movies. |
