Miami Herald: Owners of SWEET PEA trademark sues group of defendants using mark on, among other things, Cafe Press. A Cafe Press spokesperson quoted in the article states that this is the first time Cafe Press users have been sued, which surprised me.
CLARIFICATION: CafePress contacted me to clarify. Individual Cafe Press shopowners have been sued previously – this is the first multi-defendant suit.

Pfizer, maker of LISTERINE, sues Proctor & Gamble over claim that four out of five dentists would recommend CREST mouthwash, in the Southern District of NY.
UPDATE: From the complaint: P&G sent the Crest product to 344 dentists who were asked to use the product for one week. The dentists were paid $75 to participate in a survey. 269 dentists participated in a phone survey where they were asked “Based on your experience using this oral rinse, which of the following statements best describes your most likely recommendation of this oral rinse to your patients?” According to the complaint, P&G arrived at the 4 out of 5 number by combining those who responded that they ‘woud recommend’ the product with those who responded that they ‘would recommend only if their patients asked about it.’ Pfizer alleges that this hypothetical recommendation does not consitute proper substantiation that health professionals recommend the product in their actual practice.

We are proud to announce the start of SHAPE BLOG, a joint venture of the IP law blogs ReThink (IP), the TTABlog, and the Trademark Blog.
The Shape Blog has two subjects.
The first subject is an ‘inter-disciplinary’ analysis of the protection of design and three-dimensional objects. Practitioners experienced in trademark, trade dress, copyright and patent law will provide news and commentary on the legal treatment of design and any object that incorporates design.
The second subject will be ‘personal fabrication.’ The creation of Shape Blog was inspired by the book ‘Fab’ by Professor Neal Gershenfeld To over-simplify:-just as the dropping prices and widespread dissemination of computing power led to the personal computing revolution, dropping prices and dissemination of CAD/CAM techniques will lead to a personal fabrication revolution, where the average home will have the ability to ‘fabricate’ exact replicas of three-dimensional objects (replacement parts, artworks, furniture) according to software instructions, perhaps downloaded from the Internet.
We will therefore be tracking not only advances in IP protection but advances in the technologies that may lead to a personal fabrication industry (such as desktop prototyping).
In short, we will be discussing the opportunities and dangers that arise for design when you can email an Eames Chair.

Jessica Alba refused to pose for Playboy’s cover. Playboy obtained a photo from the studio for Alba’s latest movie and ran that.
From the letter to Playboy from Lavely & Singer (Alba’s attorneys) (via The Smoking Gun):

“. . . Playboy has established a known custom and practice (and an expectation with and among the public) that any woman whose photograph is featured on the cover appears in a nude or semi-nude pictorial in that month’s issue. In featuring Ms. Alba’s photograph on the cover of Playboy’s March Issue, it is clear that Playboy’s intent was to create a false belief and/or expectation among the public that Ms. Alba voluntarily appeared in the nude or semi-nude and that a revealing pictorial of her is contained in Playboy’s March Issue . . .”
There is also an unauthorized Playboy bunny on Ms. Alba’s breast.
