Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights
Slashdot | Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights: "Monday July 04, @12:48AM
'Just when you thought ownership of intellectual property couldn't get any more absurd: The New York Times is reporting that the word 'Stealth' is being vigorously protected *in all uses* by a man who claims to exclusively own its rights. Not only has he gone head to head with Northrop Grumman, he has pursued it vigorously in the courts and has even managed to shut down 'stealthisemail.com' (Steal This Email.com) because the URL coincidentally contains the word 'stealth'. What's terrifying is that he's gotten as far as he has.'"
