Useful information gained via the jgeek listserv: the booble.com adult search engine (don't all rush at once IP lawyers - you don't want to crash the site do you?) which, as the IPKat noted, was thought by Google to be too similar to its search engine, is alive and well. However, its format and the typeface of its logo have been altered so that they looks less like the Google site.
The IPKat, in a moment of idle speculation, wonders why we don't follow up on the practical outcomes of more threatened and actual IP litigation.

No comments:
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.
