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."
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.
> 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.
