Professional Clowns?

Question:

Professional Clowns?

Do they have to register the 'look' of their face? Does each one have to be different?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Professional clowns (I am one) each have their own "look"
There are three basic types of clown. Auguste, which has the white around the mouth and eyes, whiteface, which or course is all white and character which can be a hobo or hippie clown or whatever you imagine.
Although clown faces are not actually "patented" that I know of, it is considered really bad form to copy another clown's exact look. You can borrow an eye design here or a muzzle design there and that is cool.
