MailCat581 said:My personal opinion is that ABU is doing wrong by engaging Tykables in this matter. Tykables did not infringe on ABU's product because Tykables named their product "Space Cadets"; whereas ABU's is just "Space diapers". I don't see any copyright infringement at all here. But what I do see (and it doesn't take a lawyer or a judge to figure this one out) that this is a type of case that will further tarnish how the public sees ABDL (not that our community already has a bad reputation anyway because of the misconception that it involves kids but it doesn't).
I have to disagree. Trademark disputes are exactly the kind of things we need judges, lawyers, and courts for. I don't know how this one will shake out but I'm interested to see. I also can't share your worry over this affecting how the public sees ABDLs. It's a legitimate business question of a sort that happens daily in courts all across the country. If this were somehow the tipping point, I'd find it more of a cosmic joke than anything.
