Congratulations to FFR! I read the document but maybe some of the lawyers on this site can help me sort out the legalese.

In the ruling (according to my reading):

The Cobra 427 s/c shape is not distinctive (too many companies have been producing replicas for too long, including CS himself). But was not that already decided in the earlier suit against SPF...why was this new ruling necessary?

The Cobra shape is not generic. Huh????

CS did not abandon the Cobra. Huh???

CS did not commit fraud. OK, no problem there.

Is it possible now after this suit, that this issue could rear its head again...or is this the absolute death knell for future lawsuits against the replica companies? Or could there be suits involving the other Cobra models (e.g., 289 FIA)?
