Kurt Denke - The New Robin Hood

[nightscope]

This link to an article on & the letter from Kurt Denke of Blue Jeans Cable to Monster Cable's legal SWAT team, LaRiviere, Grubman & Payne. Contains some seriously funny stuff.

Turns out Kurt knows a bit about the law and ain't the pussy pushover Monster figured. " Not only am I unintimidated by litigation; I sometimes rather miss it.

OK. Can't find much in plain Anglais to see the whys and wherefores and most importantly, who won or caved in.

I do object to one of my fave childhood words being claimed by a bunch of thugs as their own. It would appear Mr Denke ain't going to back down, even tho his issue is over patent infringement rather than a trademark one.

no one won or caved in, they came to an agreement and the case was dropped 6 months later after delays, delays, delays...
