A trademark squatter trademarked the phrase "Welcome to Parry Sound"
up here, and caused a fuss. We are trying to get Canadian Trademark law
changed, to prevent this sort of thing.

<p>I think the change needs to be that the defendant in any frivolous
lawsuit should not have to pay costs. As long as defending against a frivolous
lawsuit is expensive, companies with deep pockets will find
<em>something</em> to sue potential competitors with.</p>
<p>The lawsuit doesn't need any particular validity; when it is expensive
to defend against, it becomes a negotiating tactic. "Accede to our demands,
or we'll drain your bank reserves dry and leave the empty husk of your business
to collapse on its own. Or maybe we'll buy it for pocket change."</p>[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
