Web firm tastes success on spam
A small Welsh computer company has won the right to include the word “spam” in a trademark, despite objections from a multi-national food corporation. NetBop Technologies developed a filter it called “bopspam” aimed at combating unwanted e-mails, known as spam.
But US-based Hormel Foods, which makes the meat product of the same name, initially objected to its registration.
Experts believe the Swansea company is the first in Europe to secure such a written trademark using the word spam. [Via BBC Technology]
