Citigroup fails to halt AT&T use of 'thank you'



A federal judge on Thursday rejected Citigroup Inc's bid for a preliminary injunction halting AT&T Inc from the use of the phrase "AT&T thank you" on a consumer loyalty application, which the bank said was too just like its trademarked "thankyou." 

U.S. District judge Katherine Forrest in manhattan said Citigroup had no longer shown it might suffer irreparable damage if AT&T persisted using "AT&T thanks" even as the litigation persevered. 

She also stated AT&T supplied solid evidence that forcing it to stop saying "AT&T thank you" would purpose an "expensive and great disruption."
