So the guy (1) unanimously adjudged a rapist by a federal jury, (2) whose namesake company was convicted of tax fraud, has now (3) been adjudged to have committed a multi-billion dollar fraud over the past decade.
Meanwhile, the same guy has 91 criminal counts outstanding, and judges are imposing gag orders and mob-boss style jury secrecy rules to protect against witness or jury intimidation.
Yet #Trump is still the overwhelming frontrunner in the self-proclaimed law & order party.
@e7f76f0d That's quite an article - I only just skimmed the highlights, but it sounds like you're not a fan of the overuse of "counterfeiting" to obtain extraordinary relief for garden variety infringement claims.
And from the definition you provide of design patent infringement, it seems questionable that flags look the same. I wonder if they'd have any easier time with copyright?
@e7f76f0d These flags look pretty similar to my (admittedly untrained) eye.
I saw reference to copyright in there - for the benefit of us non-IP types, I have perhaps a dumb question - does the absence of counterfeiting mean no cause of action at all, or just no trademark claim, but there is still the possibility of a copyright action (which my instinct tells me would be tougher)?
