The Daily Princetonian - Legal fears lead to pBay renaming: "Legal fears lead to pBay renaming
Eric Meng
Princetonian Staff Writer
The student auction service on the USG's Point website, formerly pBay, was renamed TigerTrade on Thursday after a University lawyer raised concerns about possible copyright violations.
Clay Bavor '05, who launched the pBay website this week, received a phone call on Wednesday afternoon from University counsel Clayton Marsh '85.
Marsh warned that legal consequences might result from use of the pBay name and logo. The pBay logo closely resembled that of eBay, the online auction company.
Meg Whitman '77, who donated $30 million to the University for construction of a sixth residential college, is the CEO of eBay."
