Small business, Trade Jobs NZ, is facing a legal dispute with Trade Me over its name and branding, with Trade Me claiming copyright infringement for using the words 'Trade' and 'Jobs'.
Trade Me told 95bFM they cannot go into the details of the case while it is before the Court, but they provided us with the following statement:
“We have used the name Trade Me Jobs since 2006. It’s an important part of our business. We’ve worked hard to build a distinctive brand that is recognised and trusted by Kiwis. We rarely take the decision to go to court and we don’t take the decision lightly – it is something we would only consider as a last resort.”
News and Editorial Director, Jessica Hopkins, spoke to Trade Jobs NZ owner, Colleen Getley, about their business and opposition to Trade Me’s claim.
For today's Show Def Jim features one track each from three musicians primarily thought of as rock guitarists but who were also known to have serious jazz chops, plus new/recent releases from drummer Ches Smith and bassist Michael Formanek, plus sundry other choice cuts from various contemporary improvisers of note.
