    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch

    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch

    Gouv ... substitute the word trademark where you've used the word copyright. Then you're making some of the same arguments as Kirby's attorneys in their two actions to cancel the Laser trademark in the US.

    Don't Crane and Kirby sail out of the same club? That's got to be weird.

    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch

    Don't know the status of Kirby v Rastegar but this was certainly enlightening about what goes on behind the doors of Maclaren: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Maclaren-Reviews-E331141 Sounds like all things things Rastegar are quite unstable. ILCA and ISAF might have put their money on the...
