"Microsoft’s customer agreements already included a pledge from the Redmond company to defend users of its Azure cloud-computing platform in cases in which third parties claim that the use of Microsoft’s software infringed on their patents. "

Just a random thought.. Trademarks seem to be on everyone's mind these days.

Really?......Trademarks are on the minds of only a select few and only because they have nothing better to talk about. The topic seems to get injected into conversations to start an argument or as a means of getting some time on a pulpit to bash SC.

Which case was it here?

8) I wonder who started the ball rolling with trademark infringement suits? Does the letters PEP mean anything? Just wondering.

Well, not trying to overstate the obvious, but the Forum Category IS KARAOKE LEGALITIES, so it may not be obvious to folks if, or if at all, to what extent, this has to do with the Forum Category...

Actually SC started it. Then PEP took over.

8) Isn't it the same things since the players are all the same? Oh and PEP took over for Pirate Recovery as well didn't they? What happened to all of those suits, were they just dropped?

Is trolling anything like trolling, regardless of what it's for?

Patent trolls — companies that hoard patents for the purpose of lucrative intellectual property lawsuits.
Trademark/Service Mark trolls — companies that hoard tradmarks or service marks for the purpose of (lucrative) intellectual property lawsuits. :lol:

If you want to start a trademark post go do it.

A better question would be, what the hell does the OP have to do with karaoke??

Well, do you have an answer that's not straw man or non-sequitur, or is 'OK you win Troll away' your best answer?

My questions are honest, candid and forthright.

If "hoarding" is a per-requisite, then that would exempt SC/PEP. It's always been theirs and 1 is not a hoard. :)

But I know where you are going with this. We simply see it differently. I see it as PEP protecting their IP. Others see it as an attempt to "extort" (not my word) money out of people. There are remedies either way and people can be successful at karaoke either way.

L O L Chris, you do crack me up at times. The number of patents or trademarks is not the issue here and you know it.

Substitute the word hoard for use. It still defines the action of suing based strictly on the ownership of the patent, trademark or service mark as trolling.
