Microsoft Sued Over Bing Trademark

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.'"

and coupled with the legal dude saying Microsoft

always respect[s] trademarks and other people's intellectual property, and look[s] forward to the next steps in the judicial process.

So a moral vacuum soon filled by buckets of evil. Nature hates a vacuum and none is more easily filled than a vacuum in a courtroom. With buckets of evil. Got that?

Apple

This reminds me. Apple Computers blatantly stole their name and logo from Apple Records. Apple Records agreed not to sue them into oblivion so long as Apple Computers promised not to get into the music business. That was nice of them.

Apple Computers did get into the music business, and are now the #1 retailer of music. Apple Records said this was a clear breach of their contract. Apple Computers replied with "get bent, and we'll do whatever the fuck we want."

Time and time again, Apple does all the evil things that Microsoft gets blasted for. Why exactly does Apple get a free pass?
