Unless she invented the power hour when she was like 4 years old, i'm pretty sure this headline is inaccurate.

In the second sentence of the article, it is revealed that this is the title of her music album. This is why it's quoted.

Was it changed? Musician defeats trademark seems to in no way be relevant to your comment

I feel like you didn't actually read the article.

I think the title was changed. I believe originally said something about defeating a "domain squatter".

The title when I commented was "inventor of the Power Hour defeats domain squatter"

Hi, one of the admins of the Bookup blog here! The title of the article has been "The Creator of the Power Hour Fights the Power" since it was first posted in March. If you hover over the link from our tweet of this article, you'll see from the full URL that the title hasn't changed: https://twitter.com/BookupApp/status/318517936119754752

That article does quite a thorough job of mixing up the notions of copyrights, trademarks, and patents.

"The United States Patent and Trademark Office admitted that, yes, based on the facts, they had awarded the trademark in error, but they could not disqualify the trademark without Ali taking the guy to court"

I feel this neatly summarises everything that is wrong with current patent / trademark law.
