LucasFilm Sues Jedi Mind Over 'Jedi' 212
An anonymous reader writes "Apparently the force is strong with LucasFilm's legal department, as they've sued the company Jedi Mind for trademark infringement and breach of contract, among other things. While LucasFilm doesn't actually own a trademark on 'Jedi,' it claims that its related marks are close enough, and that Jedi Mind had agreed last year to phase out the use of 'Jedi' in its name and product names."

Yeah, the part where LucasFilm's 800-lb gorilla run legal department says "I have altered the situation, pray that I do not alter it further."

There is no Jedi.
The Jedi is a lie.

Trademark law varies a little from country to country and please consider this a simplified explanation. IANALBIHADIL (I Am Not a Lawyer But I Hold a Degree in Law, there must be a shorter one for this - any suggestions?)
