Yes... you've all probably read many "personal experience" messages on the board... so I wont say much more than http://www.stealthmods.com/ got one of the packages; but get this, Stealth Mods is based in Australia.
So this guy wants exclusive use of the word on an International level! I wonder if the word exists in any other language and what legal claim would be made for the word in a non-English speaking country.
Anyway, the package, as usual, contained letters from companies that had withdrawn their use of the word "stealth" from their products etc.
I was concerned when I received the package so I had a good friend of mine look over the letters to see what my legal standing was. My friend pretty much laughed at the whole thing and proceeded to point out that every few letters were identical in wording, sentence structure, and paragraph positioning. He was absolutely correct!
He believed that all of the response letters coming from companies such as Panasonic, that were included in the package, were doctored.
All of you guys that have received the package, have a close look at the letters and see for yourself.
In addition, I scanned the whole package and sent it to a Lawyer in Missouri... he basically said that the this guy was seen, amongst the legal fraternity, as a clown.
If anyone wants a copy of the package let me know so I can email it to you (or is that a breach of copyright?)
