I am not an expert on trademark laws. So, you may be right that she has to fight it. Whether she'll win is another story. I simply don't know.
From her recent
testimony:
Quote:
The lead defense lawyer, David Hammer, was not impressed with her literary critique of the work.
“Have you ever read a dictionary, Miss Rowling?” Mr. Hammer demanded. Alphabetical order, he continued, “is what the Encyclopedia Britannica uses, isn’t that true?”
To which Ms. Rowling retorted: “What are you accessing in these A-to-Z’s? Aren’t you being suckered out of your hard-earned cash?”
“You feel it’s your responsibility to prevent people from paying their hard-earned cash for things you don’t like?” Mr. Hammer asked.
“Absolutely not,” Ms. Rowling replied. “This is theft. This is wholesale theft.”
It was the ultimate irony, Mr. Rapoport’s lawyer said, that the same Web site that Ms. Rowling was now denigrating was one that she had admitted using herself a time or two to check facts.
