Yahoo Settles Mary Kay Trademark Infringement Suit

1 views

It looks like some lawyers representing cosmetics giant Mary Kay have removed their figurative war paint.  In early July, Mary Kay sued Yahoo, alleging trademark infringement, but not long ago, Yahoo was able to settle the case.

Yahoo Logo' />Mary Kay originally objected to Yahoo's practice of adding links of its own choosing to certain emails.  The links appeared in popups when people would position their cursors over the text, potentially creating confusion about the extra ads' origin.<br />
<br />
Now - although the terms of the settlement haven't been disclosed - Yahoo's presumably apologized, promised to never repeat the offending behavior, and provided at least a little in the way of cash compensation.  Such is the way these things go.

Anyway, a big hat tip also goes to Related Articles:
