Is this copyrighted or trademarked? If so, by whom? Or are we free to
use it anyway?

I've seen it written with "rules" and "rights" switched, but the other way
makes more sense, and is better copywriting.

If you are referring to the ever-present motor-car/cycle debate, "same
rights" is wrong; as cyclists (in most parts of the world) use the
road by right, whereas motorists use it by permission.

And of course, "same rules" is frequently wrong as well.


I'm not referring to any debate. I asked a direct question about
copyright or trademark, on either version of this phrase. Does anyone
have an answer?
