Here's a quick update to yesterday's story about the legal fight between the makers of two similarly named products location service Pinwheel (which was built by a new startup from Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake) and photo-sharing app Pinweel.A New York court granted a preliminary injunction against the use of the Pinwheel name, basically siding with Pinweel's argument that it came first, and that consumers might confuse the two products. At the time, Fake declined to comment on how she would respond, since it's an ongoing legal matter. However, the Pinwheel.com site now redirects to 2bkco.com 2bkco being the name of Fake's actual startup and it no longer mentions the Pinwheel brand. (There's also a message saying that the service is "down for scheduled maintenance".)
