Why is UK trademark litigation relevant?"
In looking at many other corporate entries, I rarely if ever see information about trademark infringement litigation. Therefore, I do not believe this is relevant or important and should be deleted. If every instance of a company suing or being sued over trademarks were to be covered, corporate listing on Wikipedia would be unreadable. I tried to delete this mention, but it was reverted. Let's not have a battle over this and agree that it needs to be removed as it is not adding value in the effort to provide a good overview on Tektronix. Bryawn (talk) 23:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think it should stay as a example of the legal culture of the company. In the 1970s, Tek kept a whole army of attorneys busy hassling little companies with tek in their names. I don't recall any specifics offhand, but if there were a tiny company on the west coast named microtech in those days, Big Tek would have been on them like white on rice. —EncMstr (talk) 06:37, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- I did the revert. Tek presumably had a world-wide reputation in 2008, so a company using "Tektronix Ltd" would seem to clearly infringe. It is surprising Tektronix lost the suit. The article does not say what services/products the 2008 company made, and the trademark link is dead. Glrx (talk) 04:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
