NYT, Huffington Post settle parenting blog case | Reuters: New York Times Co, which has a parenting blog known as Motherlode, has agreed to settle a lawsuit against the Huffington Post after that website decided to change the name of its new Parentlode blog.
The settlement came two weeks after Lisa Belkin, who had overseen Motherlode and started Parentlode in October after joining AOL Inc's Huffington Post, said she would drop the Parentlode name and hold a contest for readers to pick a new one.
Eileen Murphy, a Times spokeswoman, said "we are in final settlement discussions with the Huffington Post." She called the name change "a victory for all creators of original intellectual property."
An AOL spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Terms of the agreement in principle were not disclosed. Both companies are based in New York.
