Jerry Falwell Claims Name is Trademarked

Posted by timothy on from the have-a-nice-fall dept.

GigsVT writes: "The Lynchburg News And Advance of Virginia reports that Rev. Jerry Falwell is seeking a permanant injunction against the holder of www.jerryfalwell.com The catch is that he is arguing that his name is a valuable brand, in effect, he is arguing that he is selling religion. There are also some other interesting tidbits, such as the rules of jurisdiction, based on whether a site is interactive or not. Falwell has also sent lawyers to Geneva to appeal to the WIPO, their requests were denied."

    Appeal to WIPO? I thought he wanked himself to death a year ago. Why would he care anyway? He'd probably just take a dump on Falwell's head and post about it on Slashdot.
