Teachbook a threat to Facebook?!



I just bumped into this article about the site "Teachbook". It is a social networking site with the descriptive info "a professional community for teachers". The issue was,  Facebook is suing a company called Teachbook, which operates a social networking site for teachers, apparently because it has "book" in its name and "competes" with Facebook. I was like LOL!!Read More:

The beginning of the suit says:

"Facebook has become a worldwide social, cultural and political phenomenon. With fame comes imitation. Here, Defendant Teachbook.com LLC rides on the coattails of the fame and enormous goodwill of the FACEBOOK trademark. Misappropriating the distinctive BOOK portion of Facebook's trademark, Defendant has created its own competing online networking community in a blatant attempt to become Facebook "for Teachers." Despite Facebook's protests, Defendant has willfully and deliberately persisted in its misappropriation of the Facebook brand, forcing Facebook to protect its user community and the strength of the Famous FACEBOOK trademark through this action." 




Do you think "Teachbook" can be a threat to facebook? Read More:
