Years ago i encountered a group of people whom told me that by processing a UCC and an IRS Charge Back, I'd get all my monies from creditors back via my Straw Man et al. The literature sounded real...I was scammed out of thousands of dollars. Now the IRS is charging me $40,000 on frivolous claims AND those group of people aren't helping me out of this predicament.
Now you have really lost it - Ever heard of "fair usage"?
Examples of fair use include commentary, search engines, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship.

How do I copyright a name, title, slogan, or logo?
Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases.
Ceasing Use of the Mark Regardless of whether trademark infringement is intentional or unintentional, trademark infringement may have devastating consequences. Even if you are innocently infringing, you will be forced to stop future infringements. You may have put time, money, and effort into a business in which your use of the mark is important. And you may be forced to stop using that mark, which may have devastating effects on your business. Additionally, there may be great cost in legal fees, etc. in establishing that your use of the mark was innocent and without knowledge of someone else’s trademark.
Payment of Damages A successful plaintiff in a trademark infringement case may recover the defendant infringer’s profits resulting from the infringement. Additionally, the plaintiff may also recover any actual damages, if the plaintiff proves that the damages were caused by the defendant’s use of the infringing mark, and that consumers were actually confused or deceived by the defendant’s use of the infringing mark. These actual damages may include other profits lost, injury to goodwill or business reputation, expenses incurred by the plaintiff in attempted to prevent customers from being deceived by the defendant, and the cost the plaintiff incurs for any corrective advertising to correct confusion or harm to goodwill cause by defendant’s use of the infringing mark.

If you are sincerely interested in this and learning the truth, I would recommend downloading and reading "Cracking the Code 3rd Edition". It covers all of this in detail. If you can not find it, ask, and I will send you my copy...This is not something you can sit down and understand in 30 minutes time with a case of beer....It requires lots of research and hardwork, which 98% of the people who have posted on this thread are unwilling to do..
They would rather just type in "UCC Hoax" or something similar because they would much rather suffer from the cognitive dissonance, and believe such a thing isn't true...

The continued statements by more than one person here that those of us who don't agree with this must simply be too stupid to understand it isn't even something to cause anger. It's just losing all respect you may have carried with some people.
I sure won't debate or judge the material until understanding that specific book a bit better. Thanks for the offer of a solid source to sink my teeth into beyond an MSM story or a few paragraphs on a blog.
Really, once a man has said that, there is no reason to pay attention to anything else he might say. It's like a clock striking thirteen, it's clearly broken.
"As you will soon learn, no law/code/statute/definition is actually ever repealed . . . In the case of a controversy between an existing law/code/statute/definition and one that has been repealed, the repealed law/code/statute/ definition controls."

Can you imagine the pile of dung, they would be in, if a concept like this was so easily provable?
Since this Cracking the UCC Code book seemed so important, I thought I'd take a quick look. The "successes" listed at the front of the book were anecdotal. No written evidence was provided, and the author pointed out that none of the cases ever went to court. The government was not involved in any of them, so I don't see that they have any particular value.
Also if it worked as claimed the laws would be very quickly changed to stop it.
If the concept actually did what it claims we we see everyone using it.... and we would see success stories. All we see are failures, people being fined when they try this nonsense.
On Page 39 of the .pdf we read:
"As you will soon learn, no law/code/statute/definition is actually ever repealed . . . In the case of a controversy between an existing law/code/statute/definition and one that has been repealed, the repealed law/code/statute/ definition controls."

I can't suggest relying on that book for any purpose, whatsoever.
P.s. Even if the courts don't report it, the lawyers know if they won, and they will spread it to other trustworthy lawyers they are friends with. Further, the clerks and bailiffs will know, and, of course, all the judges. To think this has been hidden in hundreds of cases all over the country for over 25 years without some official leaking it, is to stretch credulity beyond snapping. - C -

Just because of the tactics already used here; you wouldn't take it too personal if I didn't believe you, would ya? I mean can you prove it?
That ^ is what I'm talking about...Nothing against you, but just because you can't prove something, doesn't mean it isn't true...I would happily give you a court case; but I can't even find my own, I've looked them up in my county and state records, and these were for something far less trivial than outsmarting the government.
Look at the Libor Scandal with HSBC and gang......As far as I know, they haven't even received a slap on the wrist...Most corporations pay little to no taxes on their enormous profits...
Zip codes are crucial as well.
