Ridiculous and a total waste of time. If the court has any sense they`ll just ban Facebook.

Teachbook as a name actually makes a lot more sense than Facebook. I don't see how they can possibly seek a ruling against a company using an English dictionary word in their company name.

FB has started with 'book' and probably might move onto the word 'face' if the judgement is in their favor.... How ridiculous!

i remember when easyjet tried to stop people using any word after 'easy'. it's like they wanted to own the actual word itself.

They aren't going after all names with book in them, they're going after domains that have a two word combo, with face being the first word or book being the second.

They've already sued another company that starts with face.
While I can see Facebook's point, that many of these companies are likely playing off of Facebook's success with a similar name, the words are just too common to allow Facebook to win, unlike Apple with their lower case "i".
