Mattel says battle against bondage Barbie 'ongoing'
by Acidus at 12:17 pm EDT, Jul 22, 2005

Last year, Mattel sued "Barbies Shop" for capitalizing on its trademark name Barbie. Mattel argued the store's Web address, barbiesshop.com infringed on its trademark rights and its own Web address -- barbieshop.com.

Barbies Shop owner Barbie Anderson-Walley said the suit has been dismissed and that Mattel doesn't have a case to come back at it. The dismissal shows that "if you're born with a name you can use it for a place of business," she said.

Barbies Shop, which is based in Calgary, Alberta, specializes in selling clothes for "bad boyz and girls," according to its Web site.

Shoppers can buy vinyl corsets and leather studded bras, as well as accessories like bondage belts.

Domain name poppycock.
