Johnson & Johnson Loses Major Trademark Lawsuit
Dekortage writes "As previously discussed here, the health-products giant Johnson & Johnson sued the American Red Cross over use of the ubiquitous 'red cross' logo. J&J has now lost. The presiding judge said Johnson & Johnson's claim against the organization was doubtful because the manufacturer entered into a brand-sharing promotional agreement with the American Red Cross in 1986 — not to mention that the two organizations agreed to share the logo way back in 1895. Sounds like J&J may need to crack open some Tylenol and Band-Aids."
Even worse, if J&J had won, every game would have to be re-released with re-branded medkits! /sarcasm
Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll
I expect they would like England to change their flag too (though it's a little different, admittedly, since the red cross extends all the way to the edge of the white).
Max.
Why not change the "Red" component? Here's hoping they adopt the ambiguous Iron Cross as their new logo.
Photos or it didn't happen.
> The red cross is the swiss flag inverted.
It came from a world where all the Swiss have little beards and make really bad chocolate.
I always think of M*A*S*H* when I see that logo.
