Hobby Star Sues Over UFC Use Of Fan Expo

Kiel Phegley at CBR has a story up indicating that Hobby Star, the company that owns and operates the Toronto Fan Expo Convention, has sued the parent company of the fighting league UFC and its partner Reed Exhibition over their intention to use the term "Fan Expo" for an event to be held later this week. Phegley works his way through all related points, including the story's echos in long-standing rumors that similar lawsuits might occur in America over certain terms and why that likely hasn't happened. Since the event is imminent an injunction against the term's use while the legal matter settles itself is a bigger deal, at least for this year's show, than the outcome of the case.
