Politico to UK Politics Blog: Cease & Desist

Lawyers for Politico are putting the smack down on British politics site, Tory-Politico.com, arguing that the site, registered in May of last year is causing consumer confusion because of the similar URL, name and mark.

In a cease and desist letter to the blog’s founder, Politico counsel Dow Lohnes demanded that the UK blog (1) cease all use of the mark and name Tory Politico (2) cease all use of confusing design and graphics (3) transfer the url tory-politico to Capital News (Politico parent) (4) verify in writing the permanent cease of any future use of mark, trade name, domain and trade dress that is confusingly similar to Politico within ten business days.
