Quark needs to be legally spanked. Whether is was deliberate or not it IS A STOLEN MARK. If I were a company using this mark before Quark I would sue Quark. They should have done better research. No excuses matter. I never thought it was original when I first saw it anyway.
Thanks, Gene, for the clear, thoughtful presentation. It was instructive throughout, especially (for me) the part about market segments and the basic rules that guide decisions in trademark disputes. Very helpful.

First, I'd like to say thanks to Gene for such an informative and well researched article. I'm sorry for Quark on this issue especially since they are on an image rebound. This is one of those issues that every designer, whether veteran or newbie needs to have in mind when designing.
