Entrepreneur Magazine's
aggressive efforts to monopolize the word entrepreneur, has
forced EntrepreneurPR to change its name to BizStarz in June
2000 and again in July 2003 (despite a unanimous February 2002
ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that
Entrepreneur Magazine's trademark is weak and that it does not
have extensive rights to the word entrepreneur). EntrepreneurPR
is appealing again.
