Ampersand FAQ
Q. Is it ok to use an ampersand in a book title?
A. Creative works such as books with the word "and" in the title often use the ampersand on the cover art because it creates intriguing design. However, to maximize the search capabilities of the publication, the "and" will be spelled out in digital documents. Look to the title & Sons by David Gilbert to make this point clear.
Q. Is the ampersand trademarked?
A. Yes & no. Several trademarks include the ampersand in the designs. Some companies also include the word "ampersand" in the company name, like Ampersand Art Supply Company, for example. Custom typefaces & fonts may be copyrighted & often include an ampersand in the collection. However, only the name of the collection can be trademarked.
