Energy giant AGL has been thwarted in its legal bid to stop Greenpeace using its logo. Yesterday Federal Court Justice Stephen Burley held the environmental advocacy group's campaign -- which used AGL's logo and described the company as Australia's "biggest climate polluter" -- did not infringe trademark laws, and only infringed copyright laws over three social media posts, and some photos and placards.
