For crying out loud... The American Chemical Society (ACS) has filed a complaint against Google in a U.S. District Court over Google’s use of the 'Scholar' in Google Scholar. The what over what? "The ACS complaint contends that Google's use of the word scholar infringes on ACS’s SciFinder Scholar and Scholar trademarks and constitutes unfair competition." Earth to ACS: you do not own the word 'Scholar'. We'd be happy to let you have the word 'vulture' though. Via Corante.
