Posted by BMTLines on Wed Aug 26 08:46:17 2009, in response to Re: NY MTA Claims SFMTA Parody Infringes on Trademarks, posted by arnine on Wed Aug 26 06:28:52 2009. Exactly!! And on top of that it is a parody which courts have ruled to be permissible and do not constitute trademark infringements.The funny thing is that if you read the blog post that I referred to in the original post, the creator of the t-shirts really believed that it was SFMTA that went after him - he has nothing to do with NY, the thought never even crossed his mind. This is clearly a case of NY MTA's attorney being so overzealous that he is now blinded to the fact that other transit companies may in fact be using route bullets - someone should tell him that there is actually a world west of the Hudson. |
