MARKETSIDE

In stereotypical David and Goliath fashion, Marketside Food Shop and Cafe, a food store and catering business based in Owen Sound, Ontario, was successful in its faceoff against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Wal-Mart has apparently opened four Marketside stores in Phoenix, Arizona and filed trademark applications in Canada for MARKETSIDE and MARKETSIDE & Design, based on proposed use in Canada. According to the information on the online database of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, Wal-Mart volunarily abandoned both applications on December 11, 2008.

We wish all of our readers Happy Holidays and a healthy and prosperous 2009.
