You cannot trademark or copyright just a number, but it is possible to trademark a number that was written with a distinctive design once it gains a "secondary meaning." For example, Dale Earnhardt Junior's #8 logo could be trademarked. Typeface is not copyrightable, so even a number with a distinctive design cannot be copyrighted. FYI: A trademark does not give the trademark owner a monopoly on the use of the mark. It only allows the owner to prevent a use that would create confusion as to the origin of a product or service. A copyright, on the other hand, grants a monopoly on a work.

The following number is copyrighted 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B - D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 It’s a “key” that can be used to circumvent DRM protection present on the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray format. DRM was considered to be “bulletproof” by the companies behind it, and it’s used by Windows Vista as well, but it was cracked pretty quickly. Because it's a copyrighted number, this question might be removed from AnswerBag by some lawyers soon. http://blog.wired.com/business/2007/05/digg_melting_do.html More info at http://09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63.com/ Or if you feel like a rebel, you could always get the T-shirt. http://zedomax.com/blog/2007/05/01/09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0-t-shirt/

Intel had a problem with this a while back. They could not have '586' patented so they went with 'Pentium'.
