blog.interflora.co.uk — In December 2008 we jointly filed a lawsuit with Interflora Incorporated based in Illinois against Marks and Spencer and Flowers Direct Online for breach of trademark law. Here is an example of Marks and Spencer bidding on the wordmark ?Interflora? which is a registered trademark.

Although it's hard for google to investigate and check for trademark for every possible keyword that every advertiser is using, it's only fair this should not be allowed.Hopefully Interflora can win this case as it's indeed free-riding and harming the name of Interflora, especially if what m&s sells is inferior.

"We consider this is a clear case of trade mark infringement; it?s the internet equivalent of asking for a Coca Cola and being given a Pepsi."I KNOW, RIGHT? I went to McDonald's today and ordered a Big Mac with no pickles and it came with extra pickles! Well, I told those Mac-Donald sons of bitches that if they didn't get me a Big Mac without pickles, I was gonna sue them for trademark infringement! And I'll be damned if they didn't get me the right burger! All I had to do was threaten them with a trademark infringement lawsuit!It works people. If you ever ask for something and get something else, sue them for trademark infringement! Hooray!
