Whose card?
The IPKat learns from MSN that American Express is on the receiving end of lega
l action thanks to its use of the (frankly annoying) ‘My life. My card’ slogan. Graphic designer and advertising art director Thomas O’Keefe claims that he has been using the trade mark "My card, my work" since 2003 and used it on his website to showcase his work. He also alleges that he sent his portfolio, resplendent with the tagline, to AmEx’s advertising agents seeking work.The IPKat finds the idea of anyone getting trade mark rights in a phrase as banal as ‘My card’ repugnant.

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.
