That’s Hot

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is seeking at least US$100,000 in damages from greeting card maker Hallmark for using a photograph of her face superimposed onto a cartoon body and her trademarked catch phrase, “that’s hot.” I seriously didn’t know that these 2 words were worth US$100,000! She’s quite a smart cookie huh, trademarking these 2 words and receiving royalty whenever anyone uses them for whatever purposes.

Hilton accuses Hallmark of using her name, photograph and registered trademark for commercial purposes without her consent and seeks at least $100,000 in damages, but possibly more depending the total sales of the $2.49 greeting card.

Hallmark defended the cards, saying a number of its new humor greeting cards are parodies of popular celebrities and politicians. “These cards take a satirical look at news and gossip surrounding these public figures, including Paris Hilton, and we do not believe Hallmark has violated any of Ms. Hilton’s rights,” said Hallmark spokeswoman Julie O’Dell in response to the suit.

For those who dont like their Paris Hiltons in cartoon form, you may like to view the following recent photos of her:-
