WASHINGTON (AP) - The term "freedom's watch" is not distinctive enough to warrant a lawsuit over trademark infringement, a federal judge has ruled in a case that pitted a one-time hero of conservatives against former aides and financial backers of President Bush.
Larry Klayman, who persistently took President Clinton and his administration to court a decade ago, lost his fight against a well-financed group that is planning to be a major presence in this year's elections and beyond.
The group, called Freedom's Watch, is positioning itself as the conservative alternative to liberal organizations such as MoveOn.org and has recently hired experienced Republican strategists to help with its 2008 advocacy campaign.
