: : Hi,
: : I'm a student at uni in Australia and we are doing a case study about Playboy Enterprise Inc and John P. (Bunny) Browne in the early 1980s. It seems it was a case of big enterprise attacking small business. The case study is concerning the use of the Playboy logo by Bunny Browne for nearly 30 years (1950s-80s). We are not given any information as to the outcome. Did Bunny Browne end up fighting for his right to use his logo or did he just let Playboy have their way? : : Hoping somebody remembers.....!! It WAS 20 years ago! : : Thanks! Dear Nikky,
The law depends on the facts. I am not aware of what you refer to. One ugly truth in the law is that many valid claims are overwhelmed by not being able to support the legal fees. M. Arthur Auslander Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909
