Hello, I am the creator of a new program that will be taught in high school's and colleges both in and out of my state. I decided to change the name of my program in the past couple of weeks, and came up with a new name that I feel more fully represents the goals of the program. I will be creating a new logo, web-site and intellectual property under this brand. The words which I used are common, but I have never seen them together so I felt it was okay to go forward. Out of curiosity I googled it (to see if the domain name was being used) and found that the terms are used generally by people in India to define a generation of people or a movement in several articles, but by different authors. Then I came to one American author who uses the term in an ezine article that he wrote. He capitlized it as I would have, and the article just happens to identify the the same issues that I address with my program. However, there are no other articles or anything else that indicates his expertise in the area. I tried to contact the author out of courtesy, but since this is a coincidence, and we just happened to come to the same conclusions, would it be a violation to go ahead with my original plans to use the phrase? He has not returned my e-mails. Wyoming
