Read through the CNN motion. Good response but there's another way to tackle the issue: "Wolf Blitzer" is just some dude's name like "Jeff Mitchell". That's not a trademark, it's a birth certificate. And 'Jeffff mmMitchell' is neither of the two, just a screen name. How can you "fail to protect" something that isn't what Plaintiff alleges it is?

Somewhere, you know, in a bar in Ottumwa Iowa, some guy named 'Buford', mischievioulsly using the name 'Jeffff mmMitchell' is gonna beat the crap out of one of those "crippled" panhandlers who can automagically do a 4.1 40-yard sprint if the vice squad shows up. And *you* are gonna get sued for failing to protect your birth certificate from an alias that slightly resembles yours. <g>
