[pp.int.general] trademarks

[Richard Stallman]

    > So perhaps trademark law should only apply to names and logos.

    Names and logos aren't less dangerous. The last well known cause in
    germany was Jack Wolfskin
    (http://www.jack-wolfskin.com/desktopdefault.aspx). They tried to sue
    various people for selling stuff with an paw on it.

    Intel sued various people for using the word "inside", and remember the
    company that tries to own the "I"? German Telekom won several cases for
    the color magenta.

Stretching trademark law that far makes it unjust, but that is not an
argument against trademarks.  That is an argument against stretching
trademark law that far.
