OCLC and the Library Hotel Settle
The Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) filed a
complaint against New York’s Library Hotel for trademark infringement in September
over its use of the Dewey Decimal Classification system. The two entities have
settled. The Library Hotel can continue to use Dewey, provided they
acknowledge that OCLC owns the trademark. They will also donate money to a
nonprofit that encourages children to read.
