SPARC No Fun At All: Threatens SparkFun from the spark-up-the-lawyers deptJohn Fenderson was the first of a few of you to send in a link to the story of how SPARC, the computer architecture company owned by Sun, is threatening SparkFun over trademark infringement claims. SparkFun is an electronics shop, which sells components and kits and the like. The two are pretty different. This whole situation apparently was "sparked" (heh heh) when SparkFun applied for its own trademark, at which point SPARC sought to block the trademark application.
