Ron Paul Files Trademark and Defamation Lawsuit

Written By Tamera H. Bennett

This week the "Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Committee, Inc. filed a lawsuit claiming defamation of Rep. Ron Paul's character and unauthorized use of the trademark rights in his name in a political video. The video, released by Paul advocates and not approved or authorized by Paul, makes personal attacks against fellow Republican presidential nominee Jon Huntsman.  With Hunstman dropping out of the race, it's unlikely Paul's camp will pursue this litigation much further against defendants they have so far been unable to identify.
