I submitted a contribution for a notable band yesterday but am concerned that the band name may be mistaken as a trademark.

The band is The Flux Capacitors. It should be known that this is NOT trademark infringement (which is why the band has been able to use the name for the past 3 years while being closely involved with Universal Studios, and the cast and crew of Back To The Future. It is interesting to note that the only actual trademark that belongs wholly to NBC Universal is 'Mr. Fusion'.   The Flux Capacitor is actually a type of capacitor (electronic component).  Even the Delorean time machine is not a trademark.

I just thought I would bring this up so that an unaware reviewer doesn't choose to decline the submission because of a misunderstanding.

Thanks :)

There's no link or reference. Please tell me where I can find that draft, and please tell me why it wasn't accepted. Thanks.
