Yahoo Serious Fights Yahoo! trademark

Posted by Hemos on from the the-levels-of-comedy dept.

fsck writes "Australian actor Yahoo Serious is fighting Internet portal Yahoo! for the trademark to the word Yahoo, registered with the Australian Trade Marks Office in August. Yahoo! was founded in 1994, whereas Yahoo Serious changed his name by deed poll in 1980. It sounds as though Mr Serious is, among other things, tired of receiving any more misdirected Yahoo! snail mail." The levels of comedy to this are astounding.

    Maybe he should just copyright the concept of naming and be done with it. :-)
