Trade mark lawyers with some time to spare might like to contribute to the attempt to draft a response to Yell, who have written a 'cease and desist' letter to Yellowikis, a wiki based business directory site. Whilst the letters in progress here demonstrate outrage that Yell should possibly want to shut down Yellowikis, they look to have an uphill struggle ahead, particularly in relation to Yellowikis tag line "Yellow Pages for the 21st Century". Yellow Pages is a registered trade mark of Yell and the original registration, dated 1979, covers: "Directories of businesses and services, all having yellow pages".
On the bright side, the background colour to the web pages at Yellowikis, is...white.
