Plan59 is a better business name than EphemeraNow. Do some of my fellow vintage swanksters recall those braindead Ecology Now! bumperstickers from the early 1970's?

Better at what? Being stylish or conveying what the business does? Is Plan 59 a reference to something I'm too clueless to recognize? With Ephemera Now I have an immediate (if vague) idea as to the area they're working in. But the "they think you're stupid" is to the idea that their average customer couldn't pronounce ephemera nor knew what it means. I'm sure they meant it jokily but it's an odd practice.

But then maybe I'm way too skewed on that word since I once spent a month learning how to catalog ephemera.

As for the copyright, potentially the period is 95 years. I looked into it a bit more and for the things shown on that site they were probably published during the period (pre-1964) when the term was only 28 years and required an explicit renewal. If they did renew they'd be swept up into the current 95 year term. But for advertising materials it is probably unlikely that many companies spent time on the renewals.

Trademark protections might still apply for living trademarks though.

But my concerns are позаботьтесь о и исключите, Челень.
