Microsoft Sued Over Bing Trademark

Posted by Soulskill on from the trademark-trolls-abound dept.

mentus writes "Bing! Information Design, a design company from Missouri, is suing Microsoft over 'intentional interference' with their trademark and claiming Microsoft had knowledge of the trademark when it relaunched its rebranded search engine. Microsoft legal representative Kevin Kutz states that he believes the case will be dismissed and that Microsoft 'always respect[s] trademarks and other people's intellectual property, and look[s] forward to the next steps in the judicial process.'"

    I think the reason they did not know about Bing! was because they tried to find them with Bing. Should've googled it...
