The Daily Mail article above has a number of excellent photographic comparison shots, including a nice one showing the dumpy looking cafe juxtaposed with Harrod&#8217;s famous, iconic, storefront.  The logos themselves both use similar script fonts, but it seems unlikely that anyone would be confused, and the whole thing comes off as the department store bullying a little cafe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100527\/0930099601.shtml\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100527\/0930099601.shtml#comments\">Comments<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/article.php?sid=20100527\/0930099601&#038;op=sharethis\">Email This Story<\/a><br \/>\n <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=74ccaa79a6644309493f80986d00640d&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=74ccaa79a6644309493f80986d00640d&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=%22http:\/\/a.triggit.com\/px?u=pheedo&#038;rtv=TechBiz\n&#038;rtv=p29198&#038;rtv=f8626\"\/><img alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=%22http:\/\/pixel.quantserve.com\/pixel\/p-8bUhLiluj0fAw.gif?labels=pub.29198.rss.TechBiz\n.8626,cat.TechBiz\n.rss\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=kexpdcofVnQ:cLfBH064bco:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?i=kexpdcofVnQ:cLfBH064bco:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=kexpdcofVnQ:cLfBH064bco:c-S6u7MTCTE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?d=c-S6u7MTCTE\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/techdirt\/feed\/~4\/kexpdcofVnQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie alerts us to the news that the giant luxury department store Harrods, in London, is threatening a small roadside cafe, called Hollands (accurately named after the cafe&#8217;s owners) for having a logo that&#8217;s too similar.
