Groupon Files Lawsuit Against Australian Clone ?Scoopon?

An interesting post just went up on the Groupon blog referring to a lawsuit just filed against Australian�Groupon clone Scoopon. Says CEO Andrew Mason:

"The worldwide proliferation of Groupon clones has been�well documented (of course, none being more sinister than�Nopuorg). One particular clone in Australia called Scoopon, created by the brothers Gabby and Hezi Leibovitch, has been making life difficult for us. Scoopon went a little further than just starting their Groupon clone ? they actually purchased the Groupon.com.au domain name, took the company name Groupon Pty Limited, and tried to register the Groupon trademark (filing for the trademark just seven days before us) in Australia.
