For instance, a common question is whether a competitor can use other's trade mark as a keyword in Internet advertisement. This legal issue has been long debated in the United States. The European Union, however, just recently decided this specific question in the case of Interflora Inc. v. Marks & Spencer Plc. Following there is a summary of the European Court of Justice decision in this case. <br><br><a href="http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_news_portal_view.aspx?s=latestnews&id=2480" target="_blank"><span style='color:#A35A1C'>Read more...</span></a>.<br><br></span><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#8A8471'>Bare Naked Brand Names !!</span></b><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>Last century business names were colorfully dressed with uniquely stylized lettering, colorful logos, slogans and contextual support. This century, such 'stylized dependency' has been pushed over the cliff by neo-socio-mobile-media-lingo. They're stripped and typed in black and white text as soundbite-sized 'bare naked words', blending into chat lines alongside abbreviations and numbing-mumbo-jumbo. The majority of big name brands are losing their luster. Powerful imagery from the old newspaper era of double sized full page ads are replaced by typed words on small portable devices. <br><br><a href="http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_news_portal_view.aspx?s=latestnews&id=2481" target="_blank"><span style='color:#A35A1C'>Read more...</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><hr size=3 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br></span><a name=articles></a><b><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#394452'>Featured IBLS Articles</span></b><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br><br></span><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#8A8471'>Privacy Issues with Geo-Indentification on the Internet </span></b><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>Geolocation technology can be used for a number of purposes ranging from marketing and target-advertising to content compliance with local regulations.
