M O S T   C E N S O R E D P R E S S   R E L E A S E S O F   2 0 0 0   ( T H U S   F A R ) . - - - - Tabloid News Withdraws Lawsuit Against The Richards Group and the Florida Department of Citrus - - - - DALLAS, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The following was originally issued by Tabloid News Services, Inc. and is being reissued by The Richards Group: The Richards Group has created a series of television commercials featuring a talking ham sandwich for the Florida Department of Citrus. In 1999, Tabloid News Services, Inc., commenced a lawsuit against The Richards Group alleging that the talking sandwich in those commercials infringed Tabloid News' prior use of a talking sandwich in the "Vodka City" serial on their Tabloid.Net site. Tabloid News has now had the opportunity to investigate this matter and recognizes that The Richards Group did not infringe its copyright. Both Tabloid News and The Richards Group independently created their respective characters. Therefore, Tabloid News has withdrawn its lawsuit against The Richards Group and the Florida Department of Citrus, and regrets any harm that its allegations may have caused The Richards Group or its client, the Florida Department of Citrus. Terms of the legal settlement between The Richards Group and Tabloid News prohibit informal commentary. Stan Richards, founder of The Richards Group, announces that the case was "amicably resolved." The Richards Group is a 23-year old advertising agency with a strong history of award winning work. SOURCE The Richards Group
