Salon is running a short story about the embarrassing line of questioning pursued by Amazon.com’s lawyers during the course of their defense in a trademark lawsuit with the feminist Amazon Bookstore in Minneapolis. The article points out that Amazon.com has damaged the Amazon Bookstore’s business through name confusion, but fails to point out that Amazon.com has done all the legal groundwork necessary to stake a claim on the trademarks that the feminist Amazons are suing them over. Amazon.com’s tactics in taking depositions are repugnant, but that shouldn’t obscure the fact that the Amazon Bookstore saw the opportunity to go after a deep pocketed corporation and went for it.
