I recently, a few days ago, had a run-in with trademark laws. This article would have been an even better read then... I run an online blogging magazine for female bloggers. We're small (much smaller than Sarah Palin). But we used the term 'blogher' in our slogan and navigation keys. This infringed on www.Blogher.com - 'blogher' is trademarked. At the time I felt the term 'blogher' was like 'blogger' or 'weblog' - a hybrid term, free for use and already in common use. After some heated debate, however, this term was removed from the blogs primary level. Your article clears things up for me though, and I believe it was right to remove the term. In conclusion, Blogher.com was thoroughly professional and polite. Thankfully the situation ended happily-ever-after. This is so useful, and such a well timed piece.
