Well, she said she was named (proleptically, perhaps) after Sir Edmund Hillary.

I think it would be trademark infringement, and given the current state of trademark law precedents on both sides of the pond, probably they could sue with some chance of success.

Of course, were the standard principles of trademark law actually applied uniformly, the answer would be no. First they operated in a different market, second there is very little chance of confusion between groceries and leftish public policy (though if she revives a “chicken in every pot” sort of rhetoric their case would be stronger), and third, it seems to be an abandoned trademark since Tesco is not trading as Hillards any more.

Reminds me of when Gore ripped off the energy star symbol. Liberals can't help but steal.

Copying a trademark, even accidentally...NBC paid big bucks for a new logo in the 70s only to find Nebraska public tv had same thing..2 trapezoids forming the letter N. NBC settled out of court I think and after awhile superimposed the peacock on the N, then got rid of the N

This is the kind of thing that has the potential to kill a campaign.

Just goes to show the Dem’s never have an original idea, they have to steal it from someone or someplace.

Her logo looks to me like the second plane going into the Twin Towers.

Please! Everyone knows that hillary’s mother had a vision before her daughter was born that Edmund Hillary would become the first man to reach the summit of Mt. Everest so named her daughter after him so she could leach onto his fame and at the same time she foresaw her daughter second failed run for the presidency and this logo which she then sent to the future with a visitor to the past driving a Delorean.
