San Diego Comic-Con files suit against Salt Lake Comic Con
Skip to comments
Salt Lake Comic Con organizers essentially shrugged off the cease and desist letter from San Diego Comic-Con and so SDCC has filed a suit against the fledgling comic con. At issue is the use of the phrase “comic con” with no hyphen. SDCC owns the trademark for “comic-con” and believes Salt Lake Comic Con is infringing on the trademark and confusing attendees. More from the Salt Lake Tribune:
“[Salt Lake Comic Con?s] actions have caused, and will continue to cause, irreparable harm to [San Diego Comic-Con] and to the public which is deceived as to the source and sponsorship of [San Diego?s] goods and services,” the complaint reads. They had sent a cease-and-desist letter to Salt Lake last month, demanding the convention change its name.
