Hopstretch Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 A pox on both their houses. Let's just hope Monster finds a way to intervene. Quote
CarlSeibert Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Posted July 28, 2014 Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of guys. Maybe Bose will hire good lawyers who will spend the money wisely on strong drink and such 1 Quote
skullguise Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 If they actually go ahead in court, is that like two black holes coming together? Should we be worried about the future of Earth? Maybe a new catch phrase could be something like: Who would Al defend? 1 Quote
skullguise Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Can you patent sucking? This is America....fuck yeah! Quote
Hopstretch Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Can you patent sucking? No, because the patent process itself would be prior art. 3 Quote
nikongod Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Yes you can I was expecting it to be a patent for "a rectangle with rounded corners" Quote
CarlSeibert Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 I saw one of those in use once. Yuk. Quote
n_maher Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 I can't think of two corporate entities that I'd rather see locked up in a battle of who can sue for more. Quote

I can't think of two corporate entities that I'd rather see locked up in a battle of who can sue for more. Exactly, but Stretch makes a valid observation which would make for a Trifecta of poseurs calling other poseurs, poseurs. Kind of makes your head spin. 1 Quote
The Monkey Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Yes you can Good point. Also, this: 1 Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Oh, that's a fun mental exercise. See also: other 'sucking' patents. You're on your own Googling them, however, I'm at work. Quote
n_maher Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Verizon vs. AT&T would be high on my list as well. Quote

CarlSeibert Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Posted October 15, 2014 This is just perfect: Bose also has a new sponsorship deal with the National Football League that has seen the league prohibit players from wearing Beats headphones while in the presence of television cameras at practice and on game days. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick defied the ban by wearing bright pink Beats headphones at a postgame press conference last Sunday, a move that saw the league hit Kaepernick with a $10,000 fine.

HeadphoneAddict Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) This is just perfect: Bose also has a new sponsorship deal with the National Football League that has seen the league prohibit players from wearing Beats headphones while in the presence of television cameras at practice and on game days. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick defied the ban by wearing bright pink Beats headphones at a postgame press conference last Sunday, a move that saw the league hit Kaepernick with a $10,000 fine. I read that he wore the pink Beats to support breast cancer, and now instead of being able to give $10K to breast cancer charities it goes to the NFL. Nice.

morphsci Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 And somehow the NFL isn't the group hated. I hate the NFL as an organization almost as much as I hate MLB. Quote
