Felix vs Kit Cat: cartoon character and wall clock have a cat-fight[/a]
Like there aren't enough silly things to sue over, this sets a new standard. The owners of the "Felix the Cat" cartoon character are suing the makers of the "Kit Cat" wall clock for trademark violation.

The Defendant and Plaintiff[/font]
[/p] Baring his claws, Felix's production company says in court papers that Kit-Cat is a "blatant knockoff" violating 100 copyrights registered in the last century.[/p] The suit also names retailers Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com because they sell the Kit-Cat Klock."[/p][a href="vny!://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/04/09/2007-04-09_fur_flies_in_felix_flap.html"]
