Yeah, Hormel Meats attempted to sue the patent office twice before and lost completely. They consider the word "spam" to refer to e-mail as unacceptable use. The lawsuit was filed most recently in 2004. http://www.power-of-attorneys.com/spam_lawsuit.htm is the link.

do you be attentive to what unsolicited mail stands for? Stuff Posing As Mail. the beef is noted as unsolicited mail because of fact that's Stuff Posing As Meat. unsolicited mail (as interior the junk digital mail) isn't the quite mail that's properly worth reading and unsolicited mail (as interior the beef) isn't in all probability meat.

They might have initially been upset. But then it's like free advertising. I doubt it has hurt sales. I doubt they care now.
