	CBLDF: News-
		Starbucks is suing Dwyer for copyright and trademark infringement of its "mermaid" logo, a parody of which appeared on the cover of Dwyer's Lowest Common Denominator #0.
		Finding that Starbucks was unlikely to prevail on the copyright portion of its lawsuit, Judge Chesney later ruled that Dwyer was free to display the parody on his website.
		While Dwyer does not use Starbucks' name or a pun on its name in his parody, Judge Chesney did find that Dwyer's was "confusingly similar" to the mermaid logo, and that the phrase "consumer whore" could be considered offensive to some and thereby constitute a tarnishment of the Starbucks mark.

		Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their support in their business, but that they don't support the War and anyone in it and that they won't send them the Coffee.
		However, while it is true Starbucks as a corporate entity could not have donated coffee to java-seeking Marines, it would have passed along such a request to any number of its employees who are looking for military mailing addresses to send product to, as it has already done on many occasions.
		The claim that Starbucks would ever have said "they don't support the War and anyone in it" is false, in light of what various news accounts show us about the coffee retailer's attitude towards those who serve in the armed forces.

		When Starbucks (nasdaq: SBUX - news - people) reports fiscal third-quarter earnings on July 26, analysts hope to hear management say two things: 1) growth plans will be curbed, and 2) the company won't raise drink prices.
		Although Starbucks' sales have been strong and steady--during the month of June the company reported $259 million in net revenue, a 19% increase in sales over June 2000--analysts are concerned that rising dairy costs and the economic downturn could catch up with the company, even if sales are growing now.
		In the second quarter alone, Starbucks opened 138 stores in North America, 24 in the U.K., four in Australia and two in Thailand to accommodate rising sales.
