I enjoy a good lawyer smackdown...

via Bryant, with whom I only have a small overlapping f-list.

When I was working for a celtic band which received a C&D letter from a former bandmate, they got a lawyer to write a snotty "you have no leg to stand on" letter to her lawyer. As far as I can tell, lawyers actually like smacking lazy colleagues. Bryant ran across a beautiful letter from a small, high-end cable company to Monster Cable, Inc. Turns out the president of Blue Jeans Cable Co. was a lawyer before he started the cable company.

Read the patents narrowly, and Monster loses; read them broadly, and Monster loses. You are welcome to point out any error in my reasoning; but I have to say that I will be unreservedly surprised if you are successful in doing so.

I, like Bryant, enjoyed the whole thing. It's very reasonable lawyerese for "bring it"

No word in there about about any actual advantage between Monster Cables, Blue Jeans Cables, and Coat Hangars

I found out while searching for that that he's currently under investigation for sexual harassment of his case manager, though. I suspect he's on his way out.

So not so great in some ways, apparently. Shame.
