Because of Internet - Brief Article
Catharine P. TaylorBecause of Internet merger fever, some news items indicative of the Web's coming-of-age have received little notice. One that caught our eye last week was a report that Estee Lauder is suing Excite for trademark infringement because the site has been selling ads to competitors that appear when users type in "Estee Lauder" and related keywords. This type of media buy has become commonplace, but the suit has no legal precedent. What fun!
