It is McClatchy that is trying to pull this off. <br /><br />Sorry but the term "Olympian" has been around hundreds of years longer than the rag and is a generic term. It will never be allowed and rightfully so.<br /><br />Funny story. Microsoft's last venture into monopolizing names blew up right in it's face. They attempted to legally strong arm the creators of Lindows. Microsoft sued them because the name was similar. The judge told Microsoft that if they pursued the case he would rule that they had no right to the name, "Windows" as it was a generic term. Microsoft ended up paying over 1 billion to settle a case that they brought themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-32900573504045694002009-10-05T08:16:40.246-07:002009-10-05T08:16:40.246-07:00I wonder if they will insist that we rename the Ol...I wonder if they will insist that we rename the Olympic Mountain range up here as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
