Pacific Blue name owned by Air NZ?!
Air NZ owns a company called Blue Pacific Tours Limited and have expressed some concern re new name of VB-NZ.
"We'll fight them in the skies, we'll fight them in the courtroom.."

Blue Pacific Tours is not the same as Pacific Blue. Let Air NZ take them to court. They will be wasting their money though. They do not have a claim to the words “Pacific” or “Blue”. Their only claim is to “Blue Pacific Tours”.

That's what the guy on Aucklands North Shore thought about his cafe called Oscars(after his cat),then the Academy[awards] lawyers showed up and layed claim to the name of their statuettes!Needless to say they won - much deeper pockets
However,agree 404 I don't see that ANZ has much of a case.

Very true nzer, however it wouldn't surprise me if they (AIRNZ) also own the rights to the Pacific Blue name as well. It's common place these days if you are register a company to also grab any name that is similar to it @ the same time.
I would think if it was going to be a problem we will here about it on Monday.
