Why is your company named after the LOSERS?

A Trademark Law Lesson from Professsor Volokh:
So let us think about Trojan condoms through the deconstructive lens of our equine friend. Here, in brief, is the story of the Trojan horse. Troy withstood the Greeks’ siege for years, managing to keep the invaders outside its portals. But in a moment of weakness, seduced by the Greeks’ deception, Troy opened its gates and let in a large horse. From this horse, in the middle of the night, lots of little men flooded out and destroyed the city.

A fine name for a condom.
