Perrier v. Terrier

+ May 19, 2004

As the trademark dispute between Windows and Lindows rolls on, hundreds of law students are becoming JDs. What is a school like Boston University teaching their graduates about changing the first letter of a famous mark? Check out this bottle of water, distributed by the thousands at the BU Law graduation ceremony:

Perrier water v. BU Terrier water

I doubt this would ever become a lawsuit, but I thought it was funny. I suppose the pronunciation difference could help BU’s argument. Props to Perrier for offering publicly useable images.
