Are names of cities and states in the USA copyrighted?

By Yahoo User • Category: Copyrights in USA

I’m asking because if I wanted to make and sell tee shirts/hats like they have in tourist stores with the name of a city or a state or national park embroidered on it, would I need to license it or pay royalties?

  1. No I don’t think so…. There are too many with the same name.
