Default Re: Youteller Is NOT Neteller

[ QUOTE ]
Also, does Neteller have a case here? I don't see Microsoft suing Micro Machines (do they still make those things?).

Correct, and United Airlines doesn't sue United Van Lines because they're in different industries. Confusion in the eyes of the customer is a key litmus test in trademark law, and nobody would mistake those companies for one another.

Neteller versus Youteller is a different story. Neteller has every right to defend their trademark; in fact, they probably have duty to protect their trademark. I'm not a lawyer and don't know how the case will turn out but it seems close enough to deserve a day in court.
