French Designer Ordered to Give up milka.fr

Posted by timothy on from the you-must-give-up-your-milka dept.

jmf writes "The BBC is running a story about French designer Milka Budumir, who has been ordered by a judge to give up milka.fr to Kraft Foods. You can read her side of the story (in French) at her site which also points to Kraft's side of the story. Kraft make very good chocolate, but they seem to be colour-blind: claiming that this website's colour is similar to this one's."

    that poor crazy french lady lost her website... i'm sure millions and millions of french people will be confused and her profitable business will dwindle down to giving out hand jobs.

    More proof that no matter what you say about freedom and jusitce in America, we are still FAR better off than the rest of the world. I reckon this wouldn't happen in any US court, wasn't there a law passed that said a person can calim right to a domain if it is their personal name?
