EFF Files Trademark Lawsuit for Use of Trademark in Magazine Name
Derek Slater, blogging for EFF's DeepLinks brings news of a new trademark case to prove the right of a magazine to use the trademark of the item it covers in the name of a magazine (Yet More Lost in the Shuffle).
EFF announced Monday that it has filed a lawsuit against French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis Group on behalf of Medical Week News, publishers of the medical news website AcompliaReport.com. The website reports news about Acomplia, a forthcoming Sanofi-Aventis drug. Based on use of the drug's name in the website domain name, Sanofi-Aventis recently threatened Medical Week News with legal action.
