If it drives like an amphibious vehicle, it must be a duck tour


From the Boston Globe: "Judge says a duck tour is a duck tour"

If it looks like a duck and swims like a duck, it probably is one. And if it carries tourists on land and sea, it can be called a duck tour.

A federal Appellate Court judge yesterday overturned a year-old trademark infringement ruling that barred Super Duck Tours LLC from using the words "duck tours" in its name and a logo of a cartoon duck splashing in water in Greater Boston, where the longer-established Boston Duck Tours LP argued the similarities confused customers.

I took the family on a Boston Duck Tour the last time were were in Beantown. They're fun, for sure, but I think they cost about $4000.
