Business law is tricky, especially when it relates to copyright and trademarks. Steve Blank, co-founder of what was then E.piphany, recently posted about a time when Microsoft threatened to sue his company over their use of the letter "E" in their logo. You see, Microsoft had released Internet Explorer 3 to the masses with a new logo: The letter "E" with a swoop. Unfortunately, E.piphany made the same decision with their own logo. Cue legal posturing.
