RE: Copyright, Trademark and the O**C suit

[Kent Mulliner <mulliner@ohio.edu>]

It's a little late to avoid being laughing stock outside the profession as
the suit attracted the attention of NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" last
Saturday.  OCLC became the target in the segment "Listener Bluff" as one
of three stories (2 false) of "unbelievable claims to ownership"
http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/thisweek.html

Of course, that program like much of the reporting confounded a trademark
suit with a copyright suit.
