Hopefully this is a future picture of Jon Liebowitz's picture after the mid-terms.

Zuckerberg has become rather well-known for silliness like this. He’ll get spanked.

I want to copywrite the word, “I”...I would get rich off of the egotists on the left.

The terms are too generic. He will lose.

I'm trying to lay claim to the letters "F" and "U".

Bastards. If he had registered all the name combinations that he wants to protect, he would have a case if someone tried to use a specific name combination. This is a case of lawyers run wild at the request of the big boss.

In other news, Michelle Obama has secured the rights for the words “First” and “Wookie”.

Does this mean Al Sharpton can’t start a social network called Racebook? Guess he’ll have to settle on Bwitter.

Don’t count on it.
A friend of mine started a dot.com in Cali during the internet boom days called Model E.
It was a company that customized and leased a package of cars instead of just one. You could have a Corvette for a week and then an Escalade the next, and so on, throughout your lease period.
Anyway, Ford sued him and he lost. Too close to Model A and Model T for Ford.
All depends on who has the most money for lawyers.

What about using VisageTome or GesichtBuch?
Pack of twits.

Dont count on it. I'd like to see him challenge "Phone Book." How about "Blue Book?" And, of course, there are MacBooks and NetBooks out there.
Not to mention ebook.com, which has been around a while ... not to mention the generic term "e-book."
He's gonna get spanked. He's not the first person to have used "book" in the way he says, and I believe that fails what is pretty much the opening threshold for that sort of trademark claim.
