What struck me as unusual was the full-page ad. It may be a generalized shot over the bow, but that wouldn't absolve the company of the responsibility to go after individual violators.<br /><br />I'm still curious about what exactCharlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-91056997468288041502011-06-16T13:09:50.230-04:002011-06-16T13:09:50.230-04:00I think it's a bit of a stretch to say you can...I think it's a bit of a stretch to say you can't compare what they do to other things.<br /><br />Will it be allowed to say something is (brand name here)-eque or (brand name here) reminiscent when trying to compare something that might have like features to something else?<br /><br />Go after the counterfeiters and knockoffs, but I'd be shocked if they want to ban it from being a Bunny Masseusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336087365707596513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-3654621904302150352011-06-16T12:12:49.355-04:002011-06-16T12:12:49.355-04:00Funny Flora!

When they don't actively police their own brand they lose the right to litigate later when necessary. They also lose what the brand truly is and it becomes just another word in the dictionary---like Kleenex, or Xerox.
