A friend has has received a decent number of checks resulting from acting as expert witness defending against interesting lawsuits brought by a certain Mr. R. It appears that our dear friend R. *found* a list of subwoofer manufacturers ordered by inverse sales volume. He started with the smallest, weakest ones and sent them a Cease And Desist letter claiming that he invented the subwoofer and that they were infringing his patents. Being weak and small they appear to have caved rather than fund a legal defense. One annuity for R. was followed by another. As R. moved up the list he started running into people with deeper and deeper pockets and he sued several of them. They had a lot more to lose and defended themselves. I understand that one of those cases was just decided against poor R., and he was refused his alleged damages and also assessed the costs of the defense... Of course the relevant Defendant spared very little in funding their defense including having what was alleged to me to be a highly attractive young lady lawyer who looked and dressed like a spokesmodel but knew Engineering stone cold and up one side and down the other. Only in Texas. Talent like that costs!! ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106914 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
