Hmm. Fairly doofy ruling. Hopefully it\'s overturned on appeal.
Moreover, it would seem that Defendant did a lousy job showing that none of the photographic elements used by claimant were his own creation.
Maybe defendant should have taken the time to find evidence that someone else has taken a photograph of a red bus against a black and white background taken before 2005 (Maybe this?)
I could understand a lawsuit where one company attempts to copy the other company\'s logo, in which case an argument can be made that one brand is attempting to confuse consumers, but that doesn\'t appear to be the case.
