Sparc Sends SparkFun Electronics C&D Letter
moogied writes "SparkFun.com, a electronics component provider, has been sent a cease and desist letter by Sparc in response to the lengthy trademark process that SparkFun is participating in. The letter states 'Because the dominant portion of the SparkFun mark, namely, SPARK, is phonetically identical and nearly visually identical to SI's SPARC mark, and because it is used in connection with identical goods, we believe confusion is likely to occur among the relevant purchasing group.' SparkFun.com has provided the entire contents of the letter, with a breakdown of points it feels are most relevant."
Sun named their product line after a natural phenomenon, a spark, and is now going after any one using the natural phenomenon's namesake? yeesh!
What does it say on the inside of a nigger's lips? INFLATE TO 30 PSI.
Just wanted to clear things up for the idiotic mods who thought the parent post was a Troll. Company makes questionable douchebag action, potential customer decides to stop buying from company. What the FUCK is trollish about that? Since you morons seem to have forgotten what a troll post is all about, I thought I'd post a nigger joke for you. You're welcome.
P.S., if you are still unclear about why this is a troll post and the parent post is not, then please for the good of humanity be certain that you never reproduce.
why don't you suck my fucking dick?
Just try and guess who I really am, you fuckwit.
