The appeal was filed Monday (Oct. 15) in the Court of Appeal in London. WWFE argues in the appeal that an agreement it signed with the Fund in 1994 constitutes a restraint on trade. The Fund, now known in the U.K. as the Worldwide Fund for Nature, claims that the agreement prohibits the use of the “scratch” logo and the Internet address wwf.com (the fund’s Web address is wwf.org). The timing of a hearing on the appeal has not been determined. It could come late this year or early in 2002. “We do not believe the Fund has in any way demonstrated that our use of the ‘scratch’ logo or the URL wwf.com has had any impact on the Fund’s activities that would justify such a restraint of trade,” said Edward Kaufman, WWFE Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “We do not believe there is any confusion in the public’s mind between the World Wrestling Federation and the World Wildlife Fund, and the logos of the two organizations.” Credit: Yahoo!
