Erm... not sure I catch the problem with the ad, really.
Dear Jennifer;
Our firm provides various services to Nippon Beer Co., Ltd., including coordination and legal support. Nippon Beer Co. is the official importer of Corona Extra in Japan.
It has been brought to the attention of Nippon Beer Co., that your web site is posting unauthorized images of a design, which incorporates the Corona Extra trademark. The design was created by a Mr. Uemura while he was an employee and/or agent of Ogilvy & Mather Japan. Following are the links with the unauthorized images:
http://toxicmedia.blogspot.com/search/label/Corona
Nippon Beer Co. never authorized Ogilvy & Mather Japan or Mr. Uemura to post the designs with the Corona Extra trademark on the World Wide Web or to otherwise release the design into the public domain.
The posting of these images on the toxicmedia.blogspot.com web site, the continuing and unauthorized use of the Corona Extra trademark on the toxicmedia.blogspot web site and comments posted on the toxicmedia.blogspot.com web site has caused and is causing on-going and irreparable harm to the trademark owner, Grupo Modelo SA de CV (Mexico) and to Nippon Beer Co., Ltd.
On behalf of Nippon Beer Co., Ltd., we demand the immediate removal of the above links and all postings of the unauthorized images on your web site.
Should toxicmedia.blogspot fail or refuse to remove these postings of the unauthorized design from your web site, by July 31, 2007, Nippon Beer Co., Ltd. and/or Grupo Modelo SA de CV will engage legal counsel to protect the Corona Extra trademark, will seek injunctive relief, and will seek monetary damages caused by the unauthorized release of the design.
Sincerely,
Steven P. Meier
