Frances Flynn Thorsen is asking a good question - what's in a blog name? She's noting that BusinessWeek's new real estate blog ...

Most bloggers do not trademark their blog names. However, media companies usually trademark their brands prior to their launch. I am not sure if they're doing this with blogs, but one would think they are. In addition, having once worked inside a big media company, I can tell you they protect these trademarks aggressively. So what's a media company or a blogger to do here? Can two blogs - one from the MSM and another thats a corporate blog - share a name? This sounds like one for super trademark lawyer/blogger, Marty Schwimmer.
