Mattel gets litigious on chinabarbie.comTrademark lawsuit seeks unspecified damagesPublished Wednesday 22nd August 2007 09:26 GMT Mattel yesterday filed suit in Manhattan federal court against www.chinabarbie.com for "using the toymaker's famed 'Barbie' trademark as part of the name for a pornographic website", Reuters reports. The suit, which is seeking unspecified damages, says the site is operated by Florida-based Global China Networks using a New York postal address and had "sold memberships to the site to customers around the world". The suit also helpfully adds that "American girls aged between 3 and 11 own an average of eight Barbie dolls each". ® 7 comments posted — Comment period finished ArticlePosted: 10:14 22nd August 2007 Now that's a statisticPosted: 10:57 22nd August 2007 Why?Posted: 11:42 22nd August 2007 Re: Article - ChrisPosted: 12:54 22nd August 2007 Mattel have been doing this for yearsPosted: 13:27 22nd August 2007
