Hormel halts Spam King in his tracks
No 'Spam King' clothing line for Richter.
Infamous spammer Scott Richter, aka the 'Spam King', has fallen at the first hurdle in his bid to
launch a 'Spam King'-branded clothing
line.
According to Newsday.com, Richter has revealed that, shortly after he began to market his Spam King
range of clothes - which was
to include hats, T-shirts and underwear sporting slogans such as 'Just opt out' and 'Click it' - he received
a cease-and-desist communication from Hormel Foods,
warning that Hormel owns the rights to the Spam mark.
So, for now, the fashion world will have to wait for the much anticipated SK clothing range - Mr Richter will have to find
the time to settle this trademark matter in between both suing anti-spam organisation SpamCop
and being sued by the New York Attorney General.
