Hang on a second here... I'm not a lawyer, but as a writer, I keep track of
copyright (not copywrite) issues... And you can't copyright a phrase or a
term. Trademarks and service marks cover phrases and terms, not copyright.

A quick web search on auto-completion came up with a bunch of auto body
shops... A free trademark search at
http://www.mycorporation.com/trademarks/tmsearch/searchpage.asp did not
return any results. I'd say it's fair game...
