Apple sues Amazon for starting an app store called appstore. Apple's app store is called "App Store". Too similar? In addtion, Amazon is selling a game "Angry Birds Rio" while Apple has the very popular game "Angry Birds" in their app store. I think its a little too similar
This report from Business Week highlights some recent developments in intellectual property news. Chrysler is actually suing a Detroit clothing company for trademark infringement on the slogan "Imported from Detroit." The saying was introduced in a Chrysler commercial that aired during the Super Bowl this year, featuring Eminem. Chrysler brings the case to court with the justification that the phrase is intended to indicate "luxury" to customers, in addition to the fact that millions were invested to produce the commercial. As a result, t-shirts with the slogan are misleading to the public, the automaker claims. Do you think Chrysler has a strong case?
Here's the original commercial, if you haven't seen it:
