Facts don’t violate trademarks

Facts don’t violate trademarks:

In its revised ruling, the court embraced EFF’s arguments, holding that using a competitor’s name in the course of conveying truthful information does not violate trademark law. The ruling pointed out that: « While the evidence submitted to the Court demonstrates that Defendants’ web site does contain frequent references to J.K. Harris, these references are not gratuitous; rather, Defendants’ web site refers to J.K. Harris by name in order to make statements about it. »

The Taxes.com decision has been reversed.
