The Oatmeal Is Being Sued Again This Time for Trademark Infringement

[Greg Troy (KeepFighting)]

It was just a few short months ago that the oatmeal creator Matthew Inman had to deal with a lawsuit from the website funky junk and their attorney Charles Carreon in which even the EFF teamed up on the oatmeal side. You can read the original story here:

Now someone else has the oatmeal in their crosshairs and this time it is for trademark infringement. Apparently Matthew Inman put his artwork on some greeting cards made from recycled paper and sold them through his website and apparently there is another company that has been in business for over 25 years called oatmeal studios that sells greeting cards on recycled paper and feel Matthew Inman is too close to their trademark and is now suing.
