Court rules that BBC can officially keep the Tardis
by Doc on Oct.24, 2002, under General News
I actually thought that the BBC had already settled this, but the BBC is reporting that it has won the rights to keep the familiar blue Police Box (a.k.a. the Tardis) as a trademark. Apparently the Metropolitan Police, which had hundreds of the boxes until the 1960s, objected to the marketing of the object by the BBC, which it has been doing since the 1970s.
