Nextel to protect walkie-talkie business legally

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nextel
Communications Inc. said Friday it
would use trademark law to stop
emerging rivals of its 10-year-old
walkie-talkie service from using the
term "push-to-talk" to describe their
products.

But lawyers said Nextel, the No. 5 U.S.
wireless telephone company and so far
the only one to offer a feature on a
phone that allows customers to talk at
the push of a button, could face an
uphill battle to protect the term.
