German drugmaker Merck has started legal action against Facebook after the former's US rival Merck and Co. started using its Facebook page.
The German company said that it had obtained exclusive rights to the page after entering into an agreement with Facebook. However, when it had logged onto the site on 11 October this year, the page was already being controlled by the US company. Lawyer for the German firm, Robert Horowitz said that he had sent multiple emails to the Facebook staff questioning what had happened. The respondents however "either did not understand the problem," or were "intentionally giving unresponsive answers".
Facebook says that it is "looking into" the problem.
Both companies are offshoots of the same German firm set up in Darmstadt in 1668, which was split into two after World War I.
