Logo dispute gibberish
Lawyers often have a tough time being spokespeople, but in this case, I'm not sure even the best spokesperson could pull off this messaging. A dispute involving a trademark request filed by Rehava Real Estate Store, a small agency in North Charleston has got the attention of Re/Max lawyers, saying the Rehava name and logo design are too similar to its own.
Here are the logos in question.
Here's what Re/Max lawyers have to say about it:
Okay, then.Adam Scoville, Re/Max's legal counsel, said he can explain.
First of all, both names start with "r" and have logos with accent lines near the letter "e," he said.
"It goes beyond that," Scoville added. "If you chop the top off of the 'h,' you (almost) have the 'm' in Re/Max. The next letter is an 'a,' and if you take the 'v' then you have half of an 'x.' "
