well ye as it says, lexus dosent have to mean as in the car lexus, registering a trademark name does not mean you can stop other people using it if it already existed like in this case, however if he/she had been named lexus 600h or somethink they would have a point.

Oh, great. Now I will have to go to the local gentlemans establishment and buy more DVDs and join more sites to help these young ladies pay for college. Why is Lexus (motor company) so intent on seeing that these ladies are not able to get their degrees?
As for the gay porn 'star'...sorry dude you're on your own

Trademark protection law is such that you more or less have to sue for any use of your mark in order to protect it. If you don't at least try, you run the risk of a future court deciding that you've allowed the mark to lapse.
Personally, I think the whole system exists to enrich trademark lawyers, but that's just me.

Haha I was going to post something like "Wow, I want a job with the Lexus legal department to investigate these crimes" until I saw it was a GAY porn actor. Nevermind.
