For One and All, . Why Not Call them the "ET" Stores for Electronics and Technology (ET) Stores. [ Isn't That What They Are All About ! ] . And since they sell so many Celphones Everyone will know them as by their New Nick Name "ET Call Homes Stores" ![]() . just for the fun of it ~ RHF . . In Canada, they are teamed with Rogers Wireless for cell phones who, outside of Ontario, have a limited network. They sell more computers, gadgets and stereos than anything else here. They also still have an excellent parts department. A judge in Texas can say whatever he/she wants, but has no jurisdiction in Canada of any kind. This is likely to start a negotiation and a protracted legal process versus anything else. Given that this is the largest electronics retailer in Canada, I'm sure the government would also express an interest if asked. An associate store in Canada could and should say, "sue me", and the settlement in this country would have to show that there were actual damages which would take some other company proving their profits were hurt. And even if, that may not persuade a court here,if the suing company looks predatory in any way. Similar settlements have also taken into account the prior use of the trademark and the damage to the existing business. A Canadian court is likely to suggest a lengthy time frame for the name change. And no or very limited exchange of money between the parties. And this is after mandatory mediation. The laws are different here. It took more than 5 years for West Edmonton Mall to agree to stop calling their amusement park "Fantasy Land" after the US company Disney got worried about it. I'm not sure if furniture giant The Brick has settled with Brick's Fine Furniture of Winnipeg 15 years after that started. I don't remember anyone changing their business name from Olympic when the Olympics have been here, despite the IOC saying they had to. |

UA - Most "Contracts" will state a Place of Origination
and an Authority (State/Country) of All Applicable Laws. Note - Even in Canada - The Law - Is The Law [.] |
