City launch cease and desist order against Chilean 3rd division side over club crest

[flook]

there is now way you could mistake their crest for ours, so yes, if true, we shouldn't have bothered

The people in charge should get a life. This club is half a world away from our owners and who follows the Chilean league anyway.

just find it ironic with all the media crap we've had for 14 years we issue a cease and desist related to a badge for a 3rd division club in Chile.

It's tricky though.

A Brand has to protect it's intellectual property, they can't 'let one go', else they don't have a leg to stand on down the line.

Private Eye gets a letter from the Portakabin manufacturers everytime they use the word Portakabin, because it's a copyrighted word. It gets printed on the letters page under the title 'What a pathetic way to make a living'.

Even though it's in common UK parlance (like Hoover), as no-one wants to use the phrase 'temporary moveable office building'

Yes the irwello,medlocko and the irko. :-)

Don't you mean Merseyo rather than Irwello.

Good point I think we missed an opportunity by not replacing the rose with a shopping trolley.

An Asda one would make sense:-)

Personally, I would have preferred a silhouette of a man pushing a drunk into a canal

Pathetic bullying by City

The three rivers of Manchester are the irwell medlock and irk. The Mersey flows through Stockport and sale and then dumps all its shit at Liverpool.

I find it heartwarming that a new club should choose us to model their name and badge on. Unfortunately we have to wave the big stick at them.

A sign of the times, I suppose.

Definately more than a slight resemblance. The shield placed on top of the inner circle is copied 100%.
