Facebook vs. Shagbook: The Legal Battle Of Trademarks
It's pretty clear that Facebook is going to go after anyone that even slightly infringes upon the trademark of its popular social media network. But how far are they willing to go and at what cost?Recently, Facebook filed suits against Teachbook and Facebookofsex.com run by Friendfinder Networks because the names and actual sites were believed to be too close to its brand. While these disputes are still ongoing, Facebook also attacked the United Kingdom's Shagbook, an adult dating site. The suit was first filed in May but the recent counter by Shagbook has made this trademark legal battle very interesting.
It's true that if you wander over to Shagbook that the site's logo and visual format resembles Facebook's interface. However, Shagbook attorneys argue that its site is clearly a dating site while Facebook is a more generalized social media network. How could anyone be confused, they ask?
