Via the Legal Satyricon, a highly irksome story about a clash between big retailer Nordstrom and a tiny yoga clothing company that was the first to register a mark that Nordstrom wanted. The story has two morals: (1) incompetence by government bureaucrats can tank your business, and there's not much you can do about it, and (2) if you don't have a huge litigation fund, someone who does can tank your business whether or not you are in the right, and there's not much you can do about it. Hooray for the legal system!
