Gene Expression Gets Smacked

I saw a post on Razib's website that greatly upset me:

A letter from the Gene Expression Omnibus arrived in the mail today. Their lawyers claim that use of the term "Gene Expression" for this weblog is "Trademark Infringement." After talking to a friend who is an attorney I've decided to take the site down until I can be clear about my rights and liabilities. I'm assuming that this blog will be up soon, but if it isn't, it was good while it lasted.
-Razib


I knew this day was coming (but not for Razib) since the guy that had McDonalds.com back in the early 90s lost it to the fast food joint. It's sad that Razib is getting swacked too.

:(
