Does Marc Miller and in general the Traveller property have a copyright on the 1.5 meter map scale for deck plans and other related Traveller game maps?
 
Such is not able to be protected by copyright or trademark in the U.S.

I suspect it's not covered under trade dress law, either. It's just a map scale.

As always, asking an attorney about matters of law will get you a better answer than asking random people on the Internet. I'm not a lawyer (but I have Law 0).
 
I thought maybe Avery himself or one of his trusted types could chime in.

When you ask what are basic questions like this, that a little looking around and common sense can answer, Some of us fail to take you seriously. In fact, some of us avoid posting because it's hard to avoid ranting at you. Or worse, assuming you're a troll.

You realize, of course, that you also essentially also just insulted Mr. Dray...
