A business that recycles old Sport Walkman housings into iPod cases has been bullied into shutting down after Sony accused them of:
clear infringement of the SONY and WALKMAN marks because it is deceptive. Consumers likely will be misled and deceived into believing that Sony is somehow connected with the iPod personal stereo when in fact it is not. Moreover, they will be misled into thinking that Sony is backward in its design of products and is going away from miniaturization, as the size of the tape player housing is quite large by today's standards.
Yeah, I guess anyone still using an old Sport Walkman is giving Sony a bad name too. People - throw out your ancient technology. I suppose Sony has no problem with their old technology piling up in land fills versus being recycled.
Oh yeah - don't be using your backpacks to carry your laptops either kids. The laptop manufacturer may accuse you of insinuating that the laptop is so huge it needs to be carried in a big-ass backpack........bad for business.
