Trademarks
CLYR and the Clyr Ink Press colophon are the author’s trademarks. The “direct iconic proportion” symbol is not a trademark, so feel free to use it as an operator, UFO silhouette, facial-hair tattoo, or whatever you like; consider it the author’s gift to the world.
Some or all of the following capitalized words are (in some cases registered) trademarks, service marks, or product names that do not reside with me: Girl Scouts, Fritos. I use them (and any other trademarks that I have forgotten to list here) only in an editorial fashion, and not specifically to endorse them or to commercially profit by their mention.
