Hormel Tries to Stop Use of Spam

Spam Arrest will be featured on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson tonight (Monday, March 5th, 2007). World News will be discussing the ongoing trademark dispute between Hormel and Spam Arrest over the use of the word “spam”.

Spam Arrest has been defending itself against Hormel for the last 4 years while Hormel has been attempting to cancel the Spam Arrest trademark granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office. (more info)
Definitely overstepping their trademark, no confusion between spam “food” and junk mail (IMHO). They should have to shoulder the blame for spam if they want exclusive rights to the name...

Spam Arrest is my favorite way of blocking e-mail spam from home. It's practially impossible for spammers to get automated junk mail past their filter!
