Under U.S. copyright law, individual words cannot be registered for copyright. If "bamboo" is being used to identify the source of goods or services, it can (in general) be trademarked. (Thus, someone could have a restaurant named Bamboo and be able to keep other restaurants from using that name.) For more information on copyright in the U.S., see www.copyright.gov . For information on trademarks in the U.S., wee the website of the United State Patent and Trademark Office, www.uspto.gov. Note that the United States has both state and federal trademark law, so the use of a name may be protected even if it does not appear in the TESS database of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
