LAPD wants to use ''IP'' just like Coca-Cola
Posted by Raul Ruiz on Tuesday, August 06 @ 00:35:52 EDT Trademark
NPR's All Things Considered ran an interview with the LA City Attorney who is trying to use "intellectual property law" to influence the way upcoming CBS and NBC television shows portray the police and fire departments.

Although he denies wanting editorial control (influence), Rocky Delgadillo hopes his strategy will set an example of how cities can protect their image while collecting royalties for their taxpayers.

4 minute interview (.ram file format) Additional LAPD IP Coverage also posted at the submitter's (Open Politics) site (LAPD wants to use ''IP'' just like Coca-Cola).
