Jose Avila decided to get creative one day and started making furniture out of FedEx boxes.He now has an entire apartment full of the furniture: a bed, a couch with hidden storage, a kitchen table and a computer desk.However, when he put his idea on the Internet, FedEx claimed trademark infringement."I'm not selling furniture or trying to make a profit," Avila said. He said he's just trying to show people that it's OK to be creative when they're in a bind.Avila said he will fight the shipping giant, if he has to, for the right to have his furniture.For the time being, FedEx is refusing to deliver any more packages to Avila's apartment.Avila said he's checking out UPS now, to see what "Brown" can do for him.
