I copyright any straight vertical or horizontal lines in a letter, any curvy bits and any diagonal lines.  

But I'll be generous. If you buy them in bulk, say 1000 or more, you get a 10% discount.

Ah, but I've copyrighted the concept of God, and thus control all that exists, has existed, and will exist.  Ever.

And if God doesn't like that, then I'm perfectly willing to see him in court.

Unless you licensed the Standard Model of Submolecular Physics™ from me, you can't use it.  I bribed an underpaid, underqualified American clerk to fake the patents :nod:
