Australian telcos Vodafone and Telstra are embroiled in an intellectual property dispute. UK-based Vodafone Group sought a trademark to use the phrase "Ready Business" in Australia, as it is used to promote its range of business products in other markets. However, Telstra has argued that it is too similar to its own "Ready for Business" trademark, which it uses to promote its Digital Office Technology products.
