Citrix Suing Coors in Trademark Dispute
from the I-think-they-just-want-free-beer dept
Citrix, the software maker, is suing Coors, the beer maker. Apparently Coors is starting to make Zima Citrix, an extension of their Zima product line. Coors claims theirs no brand dilution in their use of the name, Citrix disagrees. I'm undecided. I don't think, however, that it's really going to hurt Citrix in the long term to be associated with a fruity alcoholic brew. With the success Zima's been having lately, I somehow doubt Zima Citrix will last that long anyway. Maybe they should work on some sort of co-marketing agreement...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
