Subject: Suing the customers
Rockwell, is suing a law firm that is currently suing Rockwell's customers.
I'm not surprised this is happening. If SCO can randomly sue people
over claims as a way to politically manipulate the marketplace, why can
other companies not do the same?
As a random sidenote, several submissions in the consultation period for
the just-published UK Patents Bill 2004 argued that lawyers merely
carrying out their clients wishes should have an exemption from lawsuits
for "threats".
ISTR the Patent Office 'regretted' that people now descended to the
level of suing professional advisors, but still thought it quite
appropriate that lawyers should continue to be held jointly party to any
torts perpetrated.
