Where were all of Foley & Lardner's trademark lawyers??
In reviewing a trademark action over the name "Foley," Deborah McMurray asks: Where were all of Foley & Lardner's trademark lawyers??
From a Boston Globe article:
Undeterred, Foley & Lardner proceeded to use Foley on its website, stationery, business cards, and advertising materials, according to the lawsuit. And that, Foley Hoag alleges, has led to all sorts of mix-ups, including misdirected phone calls and even misdirected payments.
Miffed, Foley Hoag asked Foley & Lardner to cease or modify its use of the Foley nickname. Foley & Lardner chose not to, so lawyers at Foley Hoag did what lawyers do: They sued.
