CAREFUL HOW YOU CHOOSE THAT NAME


Branding experts often comment on how negligent or downright reckless some businesses are when choosing brand names for their products. The same problems however exist with TV programmes to, it seems. Ananova reports today that "Alles Nur Aus Liebe", a German soap opera, has had to change its name after broadcasters realised that its initial letters spelt out the word ANAL. TV channel Sat 1 (a channel much beloved by Community trade mark fans) thought there was no problem when they first called the soap "Alles Nur Aus Liebe", which roughly translates as "Everything for Love". German viewers, however, often shorten the names of their favourite soaps, whch gave the resulting acronym ANAL. The new series will now be broadcast under the less offensive name "Verliebt in Berlin", meaning In Love in Berlin.

The IPKat hopes that his readers are far too busy being excited about intellectual property to spend their time watching soaps ...

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
