Trademark office: International Falls is 'Icebox of the Nation', Alaskans laughing
International Falls, Minn. (AP) International Falls has iced its claim to be the "Icebox of the Nation." This city on the Canadian border had been fighting the ski town of Fraser, Colo., for the legal right to the trademark. International Falls claimed victory this week when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office sent the city attorney a certificate granting the community Reg. No. 3,375,139. "I ran over to the attorney's office and kissed the certificate," Mayor Shawn Mason said Friday. "Fraser's actions had sent a chill down my spine." Could that chill have been the minus 24 degrees this morning? Posted by: Icerigger 2008-02-10 |
