Hi Oro

Theres one important distinction. In your friends case he won due to the 'confusingly similiar' nature of the business. In the case of the toilet paper there is nothing confusing about it....one involves a new technology of micro fibers making it the softest toilet tissue on earth...Micro Soft, and the other is engaged in non scatalogical affairs. They're completely different industries...so I give the edge to the tissue manufacturer.

Also, you really don't need a lawyer in this day and age for basic legal matters. The time spent doing the legwork, the studying, filing, arbitration (cause it's not going to court) would be a worthwhile academic exercise for most anybody.

Regards
Rick
