Under certain circumstances they can keep them from using the dewey name.If I set up a for profit library and want to use the dewey decimal system OCLC cannot stop me from using the system.

Too often corporations send those cease-and-desist letters just to get people to back off, and it works.
  
  I'm going to go organize my pantry using the dewey system now. Maybe my sock drawer as well.
  
  Or maybe I'll just name my next child Dewey D. McBride.
