What a load of bollocks is the phrase that comes to mind...

No I don't mean Workplace or some other IBM technology, I mean this article about a Russian getting the trademark right to emoticons:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7778767.stm

What is it with Trademark and Patent organizations, do they have no common sense?

Gravatar Image2 - This quote from the article sums up my response nicely..

"The president of Russian social networking site odnoklassniki.ru, Nikita Sherman said: "You're not likely to find any retards in Russia who'll pay Superfone for the use of emoticons".

By extension, all possible combination of the alphabet will also be covered by the patent.
