[uf-discuss] MicroFormat Ltd

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,

They are in an entirely different industries.  From my understanding
of Trademark law... that would make it unlikely that they could "sue"
anyone since (from the law's point-of-view) there is little chance of
confusion between the 2 names (since they are in different
industries).

(Oh yeah... IANAL.  But unless trademarks law has radically changed.
I think AL would say something to that effect too.)


See ya
