[QUOTE]H17 the musical? a gameshow, play or movie based around the horrific plane crash? As appalling as that sounds, this could actually happen as it looks the Malaysia Airlines tragedy is about to become the centre of a local trademark stoush.Less than one day after the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed into fields in eastern Ukraine killing all 298 passengers aboard, a mysterious company in Kuala Lumpur applied to the Australian Trade Marks Office to have the term "MH17" trademarked.

On July 18, only 24 hours after the news broke that a missile had downed a passenger airline over civil-war ravaged eastern Ukraine and with the bodies of men, women and children still strewn across farmland, towns and sunflower fields, a company called Remit Now International lodged its trademark application with Australian authorities.
According to documents obtained by Fairfax Media, Remit Now International has applied for a trademark for "MH17" for Class 41 services, which covers a huge swathe of usages including films, online games, game shows, video games, plays, musicals, magazines and educational texts.[/QUOTE]

No big deal. Probably a film or documentary tbh.

Sensationalist headlines at its finest. Note that it covers films and educational texts.

If it's a factual documentary or something like that I have little problem with this.

Misleading title... although you did just take it from the original source.
