TRADE MARK WARS

Today we're heading to Pool, in Dorset.

It's a lovely little town on the coast and, although we've been there before, I've got something exciting planned for us – a boat trip round the harbour.


On our way there, though, we passed a Waterstone's Bookshop, and Wilson noticed their logo.


'That Waterstone's logo – it's exactly like my Wilson logo!'


'Oh yes,' I replied, 'so it is!'


'No, New Dad, I mean it's EXACTLY THE SAME as my Wilson logo!'


'Waterstone's is quite an old company,' I pointed out, 'they would have their logo long before you had yours.'


'Ah yes,' he replied, 'but it sows the seed of doubt. When we get back to the hotel I shall Google for a good No-Win No-Fee solicitor…'


'You'll never win though,' I said.


'Maybe not, but Intellectual Property Rights is a VERY grey area – they'll probably give me a load of free books, just to keep me quiet!'
