NPR -- Chinese Court Rules for Starbucks

Chinese Court Rules for Starbucks: A court in Shanghai hands a victory on intellectual property to coffee giant Starbucks. The court has ordered a competitor -- Xingbake (pronounced shing bah-kuh) -- to stop using the chain's name and logo. The Chinese company's owners have been ordered to pay Starbucks about $62,000 in damages and come up with a new name for their cafes.
