Minnesota Public Radio Sues Al Gore’s Current.TV
Al Gore’s Current.TV is being sued on two fronts for alleged trademark over its name. This from MSNBC:
Minnesota Public Radio claimed in a suit filed earlier this month that it applied to register âThe Currentâ as a trademark four months before Goreâs network changed its name to Current TV.
The other litigant is Current Communications Group of Germantown, Md.
The article says:
Earlier, the company issued a statement in response to the MPR lawsuit saying more than 300 U.S. businesses use the word âcurrentâ in their name,
adding:
âWe know of no consumers who confuse us with Minnesota Public Radio, and we canât imagine that anybody ever would.â
