Did not have to be censored
- Because it was aired on HBO, a premium cable television channel, Tales from the Crypt did not have to be censored by the standards and practices of most networks. As a result, HBO allowed the series to include content that had not appeared in most television series up to that time, such as graphic violence, profanity, sexual activity, and nudity.

The Tales from the Cryptshow was based on a comic book series from the 1950s of the same name, created by Bill Gaines.

There are two important concepts to understand with respect to trademarks. The first is that rights arise from use, not registration. It doesn't matter who has the registration, so much as who used it in commerce, which means who sold books, who put on television shows, things like that.

For example, Lexis, the database company, sued Lexus, the car company, for infringement. The database company came first, they had a registrat...
