Like getting rid of Apple’s mouse is going to get rid of the first ten pages of google’s search pages for “Mighty Mouse”. First off, one would think you would get more about the Mighty Mouse cartoon character when typing that in, than either of the named mouses. Secondly, even if Apple stops distribution of the Mighty Mouse, there will still be pages up that say, “Apple changes the name of its Mighty Mouse” or “Apple discontinues the Mighty Mouse” or something similar. Which will be at the top of the search results as well. I mean, anyone who really wants to buy M&M’s mouse could type in a couple different things. Such as, “M&M’s Mighty Mouse”, or “Man & Machine Mighty Mouse”. Seems like it’d be a pretty easy find. Who knows though…

On an off topic note…DAVID COOK WON!!! YAY!!!

@ 11 & 12

I actually enjoy reading these tech posts. Contrary to #11 I would like to see MORE of these articles posted. That being said I know that Staffers do lives and need to continue to live them so that may not be possible. As #12 stated use your five button mouse or Mighty Mouse and use the really easy to use Scroll wheel to scroll past those articles you don’t wish to browse.

@ This Article

I have not looked up the changes to the law surrounding names and copyright as of late but last I read if a product or service is released the same name can be used so long as it is not in the same industry or if the name affects the business of the original holder of that name. With that being said so long as this company has proof that they were selling and distributing this product under the name Mighty Mouse I think they have a pretty solid case.

As this is obviously an American Case I would appreciate an American legal opinion on this.

This article was very poorly written. I had to re-read the introduction to actually understand what was going on. M&M? Mighty Mouse? Apple? Landover? Some background info would be nice, next time!

M&M’s Mighty Mouse is a trademark for the cartoon and the character. This is a piece of hardware called Mighty Mouse which has nothing to do with the cartoon.
Maybe I should patent my own name, and there are over 1 billion people using the same name.
Stupid Americans, always pushing minory thing to the court of law.

@9s.t.e.v.e.o

Fair comment, each to their own then. I make websites so I’m at my computer most of the day and I personally find the right click ok.

Apologies
