	Playboy Enterprises, Inc. v. Welles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Former Playboy Playmate of the Year ("PMOY") Terri Welles maintained a website which identified her as a former PMOY, using the trademarked terms in metatags and wallpaper.
		In this case, the Court found that Welles could not identify herself without using the trademarked terms – the PMOY was something Welles was awarded, so she needed to use the term both on the site and in the metatags to identify herself as a recipient of the award.
		Furthermore, Welles used no more of the trademark than the words themselves (which is as minimalist as is possible) and disclaimed any endorsement from Playboy.

	Salon 21st \| Let's Get This Straight: Playboy and Playmate play a game of meta tag
		This column is about a dispute between centerfold model Terri Welles and her former patrons at Playboy, who chose her as Playmate of the Year back in 1981 and are now suing her for using the words "Playboy" and "Playmate" on her own Web site at Terriwelles.com.
		Welles isn't deceiving anyone -- unlike in a case last year, in which Playboy prevailed against a Hong Kong-based porn purveyor that had registered domains like "playboyxxx.com" and filled its pages' meta tags with multiple references to "Playboy" and its various permutations.
		Her site's meta tag keyword list ("terri, welles, playmate, playboy, model, models, semi-nudity, naked, breast, breasts, tit, tits, nipple, nipples, ass, butt") pales next to most porn sites' meta tags, which typically -- in a practice known as "spamdexing" -- contain vast lexicons of synonyms for sex organs and acts in every possible permutation.
