Nextel Claims Trademarks On "Push To Talk" And "PTT"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nextel Communications Inc. said Friday it would use
trademark law to stop emerging rivals of its 10-year-old walkie-talkie service
from using the term "push-to-talk" to describe their products.

But lawyers said Nextel, the No. 5 U.S. wireless telephone company and so far
the only one to offer a feature on a phone that allows customers to talk at
the push of a button, could face an uphill battle to protect the term.

"You can't use trademark law to remove words from the dictionary and prevent
their ordinary use," said Steven Bauer, a partner in the intellectual property
group at Boston law firm Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault.

I guess I'll need to scrape PTT of of my Yaesu VX-5R. I hope I don't damage
too much plastic.

Does Nextel employee anyone with a brain?

Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.
