I could write a book called "The Catcher in the Rye" about Jorge Posada getting turned into a sandwich at Katz's delicatessen.




of course not, but this isn't a copyright case, it is for the rights to the trademark.

In my opinion, this suit has some merit, but is stupid. The plaintiff's would have to show the likliehood of confusion, probably hard to do, but judges can be stupid.

And for whoever said it, you don't need to "trademark" your trademark for it to be a trademark. In other words, it doesn't have to be registered.

Weeds then Californiacation kept me sane on mondays. Weeds did go downhill since the first season. I would have to say that season 1 of Californication is better then season 3 of Weeds, even though I have been following Weeds religiously since it came out.

People trying to trademark words and slogans is just fucking retarded period.

Like Paris Hilton suing someone for saying "That's hot".

Dumb ass fucking rich people.

agreed, which is why you can't trademark words per se, you trademark their use as adjectives to describe your product

In some areas this is particularly lax, like cars, but the protects adjectives not knowns. And it only protects those adjectives when applied in a similar buisness model (unless you get into a famous mark which gets into dilution- a whole nother ball of shit)

But trademark law is actually pretty good in the US. Its just shitty companies that bully people that won't stand up for themselves.
