"Everything about this is absurd. We can start with how unlikely it
would be for any confusion to exist between Weishede and Nickelodeon,
move on to the very generic and broad mark that Viacom apparently holds
in New Zealand, take a turn to point out that Weishede's business has
something like $20k in valuation, and finish off by simply pointing out
the PR nightmare that is the parent company of a kids' network battling
a 12 year old at the trademark office."
A warning to large companies not to let their lawyers aggressively
enforce their trademarks without any oversight.
