Locate sunglasses.

I didn't use the trademark, and there are actually laws that prevent that.

How do you know?

Because he's a weirdo who's life goal is to find a loophole in every law everywhere ever.

Ah, but we are not dealing with real life, but with the Portal/Half Life univese. And there is no evidence of any laws stating I can't copyright sunglasses mentioned in this game universe. Therefore, because we can not just assume something like that exists, video game logic dictates it does not exist.

Laws to prevent copyrighting things in common use by the time you file the copyright. Like sunglasses.

Aside from the existence of super-science in varying degrees of madness, that universe is essentially our own.

Sunglasses aren't in common use. I am the first to use sunglasses in the history of Portal.

But portal is supposed to be set in a sort of...post-apocalyptic future. So Sunglasses have been invented. Multiple times. ALTHOUGH, there is a chance that all the copyright laws have been abolished at this point in time.

There's a world outside of Aperture Science in Portal, you know.

What gave you the idea that Portal was postapocalyptic?

The fact that the announcer in Portal 2 states that is IS the future. And that the outside world is probably destroyed. Or ruled by an animal king.

Well, he's the only real source of information we have on the matter. So we have to trust him.

Isn't he, you know, an automated system, programmed by people basically guessing about the situation ahead of time? And also an Aperture Science automated system to boot?

Future seems plausible looking at the wheat field and its probably the combine ruling the world since both games mention each other.

But do the Combine have the proper copyright laws to prevent me copyrighting sunglasses?

I'm not terribly familiar with Half-Life, but don't fields of wheat typically signify...non-apocalypse scenarios?

Do they even have copyright?

Of course they do, that's why Gordon Freeman couldn't just pick up any Combine's weapons. They have them copyrighted.
