- jemmyw 2y agoWhat happened? This is reporting on the first round but I can't find a follow-up on how things went. Did Caterpillar back down or did Cat and Cloud lose their apparel trademark?
- CalChris 2y agoSeems to have just faded away. Their name is the same.
- hamandcheese 2y agoA quick google seems to indicate that they are still doing business under that same name. https://catandcloud.com/ https://catandcloud.com/
- jemmyw 2y agoYah but it was only the apparel side that Caterpillar threatened, so they may have won or given up and stopped selling clothes. Looking at their online store they don't have anything with Cat printed on it right now.
- dehrmann 2y agoI heard a story about the CEO of Maxim Integrated complaining about Maxim Magazine and wanting to sue them. The lawyer got a box of chips and a magazine, opened to the centerfold, and said "no one's confusing this for that."
