Pull My Finger vs. iFart

Posted by samzenpus on from the clearing-the-air dept.

mophab writes "Air-O-Matic, sellers of the pull my finger iPhone application is suing InfoMedia, makers of the iFart iPhone application for trademark infringement. From the article: 'Air-O-Matic sent a letter to InfoMedia, warning that use of the phrase "pull my finger" was a trademark infringement, asking InfoMedia to cease and desist, and requesting compensation for lost sales, estimated at $50,000.' If this doesn't prove IP lawyers are out of control, I don't know what will."
