Let me explain why we did it.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month we received a letter from a trademark attorney representing Science Business Publishing Ltd. that appears to be a consulting company based in the U.K. and publisher of the Web site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencebusiness.net\/Default.aspx\">Science|Business<\/a>. The site reports on policy developments in Europe related to science, technology, and innovation. The company also publishes reports and stages events.<\/p>\n<p>I was aware of this site when I started Science Business (without the |), but this blog and Science|Business have little in common other than a similar title and somewhat overlapping content focus. This blog reports hard news in the U.S. and overseas just about every business day. Science|Business largely discusses policy developments, primarily in Europe, and European Union initiatives. They also publish less frequently; the last posting on its site appears to be dated 31 July.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless the attorney&#8217;s letter noted that Science|Business was also a trademark and our use of Science Business may violate its trademark rights and cause confusion among the public. And there are penalties &#8212; &#8220;injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages&#8217; as the letter states &#8212; for trademark violations.<\/p>\n<p>We subsequently agreed that changing the name of our blog would resolve the matter. Other than spending a nice morning indoors, it didn&#8217;t cost anything to make the changes, which are now in effect. If you subscribe to our blog through the RSS feed or e-mail alerts, you need make no changes at all.<\/p>\n<p>So say hello to Science and Enterprise, and thank you for your continued readership.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As regular readers may notice, we&#8217;ve changed the name of this blog to Science and Enterprise.
