Country:    |  Supreme Court of Canada on "Famous Trademarks" There were a couple of important rulings made today on the issue of famous trademarks. The implications for domain name holders doing business in Canada are very positive. http://www.cbc.ca/story/business/nat...remecourt.html http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl.../National/home "In a ground-breaking intellectual property decision, the court ruled 8-0 that, while Barbie has achieved a distinctiveness within the doll world, that does not give it the right to prevent very different businesses from using the name." The rulings can be found at: http://scc.lexum.umontreal.ca/en/200...2006scc22.html http://scc.lexum.umontreal.ca/en/200...2006scc23.html |

Country:    | Re: Supreme Court of Canada on "Famous Trademarks" The country's top court ruled against toymaker Mattel Inc., which had been appealing a lower court decision that permitted the three-outlet chain of Montreal-area restaurants to keep using Barbie in its name and design. It's only been going on since 2002, in time everyone can be at peace: lol

Country:   | Re: Supreme Court of Canada on "Famous Trademarks" Sounds to me like liberal Canada... will this begin to apply to all famous trademarks? Use it because its not distrinctive?
