Suing Oneself

Now this is funny. Andy Griffith once sued Andy Griffith. As crazy as it sounds it is not that crazy once you read the story. There was a man running for Wisconsin Sheriff back in 2006 and the man changed his name from William Harold Fenrick to Andy Griffith.

He did so to gain a better standing in the election because he thought it might help. The original Andy sued him on the grounds of the imposter wanting to gain his political and economic standing. There was also trademark infringement involved. Would you sue someone who had changed their name to yours?
