In what country?

The US Patent and Trademark Office shows two entries for "livecode":

<http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4005%3Acuudsn.1.1&p_search=searchss&p_L=50&BackReference=&p_plural=yes&p_s_PARA1=&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA1%24LD&expr=PARA1+AND+PARA2&p_s_PARA2=livecode&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA2%24COMB&p_op_ALL=AND&a_default=search&a_search=Submit+Query&a_search=Submit+Query>


The first is has a status of "live", showing Runtime Revolution Ltd. as 
the mark registrant with a filing date of Aug 25 2010 in the domain of 
"Computer application software for mobile phones and handheld devices, 
desktop computers and computer servers, namely, software for creating 
computer software or interactive content":

The second has a status of "dead", and shows Applied Microsystems 
Corporation of Redmond, WA as the former mark registrant, first filed 
November 24, 1997 and canceled March 14, 2009:
