Environmental group sues Honda for "Save The Earth" trademark infringement
,----[ Quote ]
| All Honda wanted to do was save the Earth,
| one gallon of gasoline at a time. It turns
| out, though, that in the act of saving
| said Earth, the Japanese automaker stepped
| on a few toes â namely, those of Save the
| Earth Enterprises, an environmental group
| based in the United States.

Trademark: The tort of choice for censors
,----[ Quote ]
| That wonât stop a wealthy plaintiff, though
| â and whoâs wealthier these days than public
| employee unions? â from suing, however.
| After all, thereâs pretty much never fee-
| shifting in defendantsâ direction under the
| Lanham Act, although the statute does
| provide for it (or for that matter for
| frivolous copyright claims) But good luck
| on that.
|
| So trademark infringement remains the legal
| claim of choice for those seeking to shut
| down smaller, poorer message opponents.
