Comparing SAAC as a corporation to SAI as a corporation is a bit of a stretch. Heck I was a corporation a few years back myself, a 'for profit' one at that! All though the profit part could be debated... I'm sure many of the members here on Club Cobra are incorporated as well. I guess AS a corporation your fair game for whatever larger bigger corporation wants to do a hostile takeover or put your a$$ out of business?
Johnson and Johnson (a for profit corporation) recently sued the Red Cross (a non profit corporation) for a trademark violation. Claim was they 'owned' the 'Red Cross' trademark. Come to find out in fact, THEY DID own it!
Seem's J&J had been letting them use the mark for years without interference, they even had a contract with the Red Cross. Then Red Cross began using the mark TO MAKE MONEY by selling PRODUCTS that COMPETED with J&J products. Well that was going to far, J&J sued.
Now even IF they win, this is public relations disaster for J&J! I feel the same way about Shelby vs SAAC, even if they WIN, this is a public relations disaster for Shelby. Two months ago I really didn't care one way or the other about SAAC, but now I support them 100%, 'just on principle'. What Shelby is doing/has done cannot be justified. It stinks, big time. It's an interesting comparison here to Shelby vs SAAC on trademark law.
"Honk, if your corporation is being sued by Carroll's corporation."
