Utah Already Regretting Keyword Protection
Legislators are already regretting their bill that allows companies to trademark keywords. It is causing problems for some of the states bigger online retailers. Overstock, Ebay, as well as others are having problems listing their products since some of them conflict with protected keywords. The government is allowing the bill to go into effect however the database of trademarked keywords will not be activated until a better way of applying the trademark protect is determined.
Its funny how quickly this proved to be a bad idea. I mentioned in an earlier entry that this was not a good idea and hear we have it. It hasn’t even gone into effect yet and the problems are mounting up. Hopefully they will abandon the effort all together.
