'Times' Lawyers Send Catty Trademark Slap to 'WSJ'

With the rise of the Wall Street Journal’s New York section has come the realization that the WSJ and the New York Times are two silly, squabbling children. This schtick was fun and profitable when the Post and the Daily News did it-but that scheme isn’t going to work in this case. The endless back and forth has already become sad: now their legal departments are bitching each other out over trademarked language in their competing promotions. Also, you know what’s uncalled for, from a lawyer? “After an exhausting search of our records, we find no indication that you ever received permission to make use of our unique and proprietary Slogan.” Really? Exhausting?
