Fairfax Media and Ten go to court over ’10 Boss’ name
Fairfax Media has commenced legal proceedings against Network Ten over its newly rebranded multichannel, 10 Boss.
Mumbrella understands Fairfax Media commenced preliminary proceedings against the CBS-owned broadcaster, after it rebranded multi-channel One as ’10 Boss’, on October 31.
Ten rebranded One to ’10 Boss’ on October 31
I think I’ll get a lawyer to work out which one of these ‘appropriated’ my surname first.
They are both moronic names. Why waste money squabbling? Get a new name and move on
If Hugo BOSS with a global ‘BOSS’ trademark can’t win a case over the name association alone, then one of Hugh Marks’ first responsibilities of the merged Fairfax/NINE organisation will be authorising the transfer to TEN of a shed load of court costs.

Hope 10 is prevented from using 10 BOSS and we wont have to put up with those ridiculous adverts, nothing professional about them, and very annoying.
Unfortunately we will still get ridiculous add no matter the name!
