As predicted here at LawMeme in April, Hormel (the owner for decades of the SPAM(R) trademark for the canned meat product) is accusing Scott Richter of trademark infringement in his "Spam King" clothing line. After the Hormel cease and desist letter, the clothing line is on hold until the issue is resolved, a shame for all the "hip-hop, grunge, and skateboarding crowds," who Richter thinks find spam-themed clothing to be cool. Richter is also facing various charges for spamming. The Nike actions also predicted for Spam King's less than original slogans have not happened. Yet.
Richter's team of lawyers, obviously a fearless crew, is suing Spamcop for defamation, interference with profit, and contract violations. The self-proclaimed "Spam King" and his company, OptInRealBig, find it defamatory to be labeled a spam source.
Add to the mix a potential trademark claim by Hormel against Spamcop (though this has not been done yet), and these lawyers will be seeing a lot of one another.
