Politicians bet that Brown delivers votes, UPS thinks not

Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but UPS wants no part of it. The Atlanta-based delivery company is trying to stop a local politician in central Pennsylvania from using a variation of its slogan and trademarked shield icon in his campaign. A guy named George Brown is running for an at-large seat on the Centre County Council and has put the slogan “What can George Brown do for you?” and a shield that resembles the UPS icon (but with the slanted line on the shield sloping in the opposite direction) on his yard signs, mailers and campaign buttons.
