Has Autism Speaks copywrited the term “Autism Speaks”?

Posted by Gina Rosenthal in community building | Leave a comment

An autistic person on aspieweb.com created a t-shirt that says: “Autism Speaks” can go away – I have autism I can speak for myself.

Autism Speaks contacted Zazzle.com (the online store aspieweb was using to sell the shirts) and had them pull the shirts for copyright infringement.

So, have they actually copyrighted the term “Autism Speaks”? Or are they just bullying the autistic folk who are sending out a negative message about the charity?
