Howard Stern Conducts Hearing In KAMELFLAGE/CAMELFLAGE Dispute

By Marty Schwimmer

Plaintiff and Defendant dispute as to who used KAMELFLAGE or CAMELFLAGE first for underwear.

Below is an exhibit from the complaint purporting to be a summary of a segment from the Howard Stern Show in which plaintiff and defendant called in and disputed patent and trademark priority. Listeners purporting to be lawyers called in as well. On the whole, a different sort of trademark discussion than that found on the INTA Listserv.

Drafting question: if you were plaintiff, would you have explained the pun?
