 In a recent post on the TechCrunch blog, Eric Schoenfeld ponders the obvious conclusion that Intel Is Worried That You Might Think It Is a Chinese Travel Agency.
Yes, the chip giant Intel is suing a tiny travel agency called Intellife Travel for trademark infringement. In attempting to answer the obvious question "do these trademarks look similar to you?" Eric opines in the negative... Me neither. But tell that to Intel’s trademark lawyers, who filed a lawsuit against Intellife on September 18 for trying “to cause confusion that Intel is the source or sponsor of Intellife’s services” and “dilution of the INTEL trademark.” There are serious trademark lawsuits and there are frivolous ones. This appears to be the latter.
I think that this is quite obviously a frivolous case, but yet another example of litigation over common sense. The article is a fascinating read with lots and lots of documentation. Guest Post by: Paul Christiansen |

We all get upset when irresponsible citizens file frivolous lawsuits, aided and abetted by attorneys which have no ethics, morals or common sense, but what can it mean to our future, our society and our culture when judges themselves flaunt the "justice" system in ways that can only be described as absurd. If there was ever any doubt about lawyers, judges and even legislators using the legal system as their personal playground and personal lottery... well you be the judge. |

 It is becoming a well known fact that all too much of science is becoming political. Agenda driven research is bad enough, but when it provides the basis for junk lawsuits it costs all of us real money.
Junk science is questionable, unfounded, or misleading information that is put forth as medical or scientific fact. It has been at the heart of highly questionable litigation involving such topics as silica, fen-phen and asbestos to just highlight the most obvious. The unethical personal injury lawyers and the so-called experts they hire are making a mockery of our justice system. We shouldn't have to put up with this, but when the politicians, researchers, trial lawyers and agenda judges all conspire together, the average citizen doesn't stand a chance. |
