Probably send in a gumshoe to investigate.
Jayzis they won’t even let us have clean white teeth now cause it’s racisd wha’?
Not sure how I feel about this. I do like the WWN pushing of boundaries, but I also understand Colgate’s position. After all. in the past, other news outlets have cited the WWN satire as real fact.
I also think that, having seen other letters to WWN and even the ‘Sheet from certain other personage’s lawyers, this is actually quite politely written, and sets out a really good case without in any way taking from their knowledge that it was not intended to reflect it as a real position for Colgate, but as an attempt at satire which is WWN’s chosen and lauded profession.
I blame Brexit.

Ireland suddenly waking up to the reality of Varadkar’s grandstanding of the last two years.

We will leave the fear to the Brits, they seem to be quite good at it.
Yep.
Keep Calm and Carry On Cockup
I’m not an IP lawyer but if memory serves, parody is no defence to trademark infringement in Ireland.
Alternatively, I would be tempted to refer Messrs. MacLachlan and Donaldson to the celebrated response in the case of Arkell v Pressdram.
;)
Indeed. Thanks for the chuckle Old Boy.
The eu recently voted in some pretty heavyweight copyright protection laws which actually might affect this though
You’re missing a front loaded parenthesis there Cliff in the second line of the second paragraph. You have just null and voided your legal letter.
