Just a note, if you don't want a letter from the NFL; Take _your_ mentions of 'super bowl' off. They've even cracked down on some local bars and such that advertise 'watch the super bowl here' to make them say 'watch the big game here'.
It's ridiculous I know, but just passing it on.
- cschneid 18y agoThat can't possibly have a legal basis. Two words is too short to copyright, patents don't apply, so you're left with trademark. I didn't think a company can come after you for using their trademark to refer to the product the trademark covers.
- inerte 18y agoOh, they can come after you, and it'll probably cost you a lot to defend your position, even if they're wrong and you're right. They win because they're rich and you're poor. What matters for the company is that you just stop doing what they don't like, not that a real judge in a real court with real laws agree with them.
