23 September 2005


A new line of condoms branded "Clinton" and "Lewinsky", named after former US President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky being sold in China and manufactured by Guangzhou Haojian Bioscience Co is igniting debates over trademark law, the Los Angeles Times reported. Haojian said it has registered both trademarks, although one trademark attorney interviewed for the story says given Clinton's fame and the evident commercial use of his name, the former president would have a good case to register the name as his own and thus block the company from using it.
