I wrote a post this week for The IPKat blog about the Fortres Grand Corporation v.Warner Bros. case no. 12-cv-00535.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment which had found that Warner Bros. had not infringed the CLEAN SLATE trademark owned by Fortres Grand for computer software. What makes this case interesting is that Fortres Grand was claiming that Warner Bros. had infringed its trademark in its Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, which includes several references to a fictional software program called “clean slate.”
