I know a bit about trademarks so here's a bit of help for these \"lawyers\".</p><p>#1 Jones Day does not have a trademark!!<br />#2 Pat's name is not a trademark.<br />#3 You can't claim infringement on a trademark you haven't filed.<br />#4 This would be an issue of servicemark not trademark because they don't sell a product they sell a service. Therefor the lawsuit should not have even made it to court.<br />#5 Unless a party uses a tradmark for commercial gain or defamation it will not be considered infringement. There is nothing illegal about putting up an article link if it's not directly associated with gaining something for your company.</p><p>They would have had a slight case if the link had been named their law firm, but they don't have a trademark anyway so this falls under free speech. They are apparently very good at making BS up to win, not facts to hold up their case. The only way they could have made this claim stick is if their name had been under trademark and listed as a plain character mark. Otherwise, this case had no grounding and I would have filed in a higher court with a judge who actually understands trademarks and the Internet. This only limits freedom on the Internet and is a step in the direction of Internet regulation.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(10868543, 'narq')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-10832842\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=37033\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-37033-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=37033\">TechnoDestructo</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/02/law-firm-jones-day-usurps-monster-cable-for-stupidest-trademark-lawsuit-ever.html#comment-10832842\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-02-19T01:09:20-05:00\">February 19, 2009  1:09 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(10832842);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=10832842');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Wow, I'm surprised.

Though it's surely conceptual \"precedent\" for douchebag law firms and other large companies that wish to use their clout and vast resources to screw over small companies that, you know, <i>use the Internet</i>.

This one doesn't even make an ounce of sense.  What this law firm did was manipulate the system for no reason whatsoever.  Their wasted time probably didn't even add up to the settlement, all the got was the ability to control how someone links to their lawyers on one small web site.<br />I'm sure if they try to pull anything like that against a site that has more backing they'll get their asses handed to them and I think they know it...but we'll have to wait and see.</p><p>*just a note: I know that I did defend Monster Cables in previous posts, but that was due to bad education of myself (I had 1 day of trademark law experience :-\\ )  the members of this site have re-educated me in this regard.  What I mean by tiniest is that at least when Monster sues for trademark infringement the people they are suing have Monster in their name.  Its not justifiable in these cases but at least there's something there. In this case I feel as though the settlement would cause more confusion than was there before.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(10844454, 'snowburnt')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-10830963\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=589009\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=589009\">GildaKorn</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/02/law-firm-jones-day-usurps-monster-cable-for-stupidest-trademark-lawsuit-ever.html#comment-10830963\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-02-18T23:42:53-05:00\">February 18, 2009 11:42 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(10830963);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=10830963');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c10829451\" rel=\"nofollow\">RogueSophist</a>: who's going to initiate the disbarment procedures?

Harley went and basically sued anyone using the word \"HOG\" in reference to motorcycles. No matter that the term was created by popular culture due to the craptastic oil leaking qualities of years of Harley Davidson (and Indian) motorcycles.</p><br /><p>The whole Harley copyright saga is a good course on how the marketing realized that there was more money in Harley branded crap than the actual motorcycles. And how they drew back in their copyrights/trademarks was nothing but incredible as some had become almost public domain. Little known also is that Harley Davidson even tried to copyright the engine sound of the specific angle V-Twin engines that they use. The court(s) finally tossed that one out... Similar is Peterbilt Trucks for re-assertion of trademarks/copyrights.</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(10840958, 'econobiker')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-10841548\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=648932\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-648932-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=648932\">716</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/02/law-firm-jones-day-usurps-monster-cable-for-stupidest-trademark-lawsuit-ever.html#comment-10841548\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-02-19T15:12:11-05:00\">February 19, 2009  3:12 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(10841548);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=10841548');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>Can the defendant maybe stop linking to Jones Day entirely?

They might find themselves in the position of having to sue one of their own <a href=\"http://www.jonesday.com/firm/clients\" rel=\"nofollow\">clients</a>.</p><p>However, no one should be surprised at the behavior of Jones Day.  After all, they also list Wachovia, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley Realty and the Royal Bank of Scotland as clients.  That's right, not only did they represent Wachovia as it was doling out billions of dollars of subprime mortgages, they also represented the guys who were securitizing these toxic assets.  Nice due diligence guys.</p><p>In fact, Jones Day noted in a recent <a href=\"http://www.jonesday.com/news/news_detail.aspx?newsID=S1603\" rel=\"nofollow\">press release</a> that last year, as the housing market was imploding, they were still the #8 legal advisor (by deal size and number of issues) to issuers of mortgage-backed securities!  Don't worry, even though that business has collapsed, Jones Day will be okay.  Did I mention they also represent RE/MAX International, which specializes in foreclosed properties?</p><p>Stay classy Jones Day.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(10903820, 'menelaus')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>");
