In Reply to: When does a better mouse trap turn distasteful carboncopy cloning? posted by Srajan Ebaen (R) on July 8, 2003 at 08:59:14:
If 47Labs had something unique to protect then they should have patented it. That is what the system is for (though some people abuse it -- or rather the patent office allows frivilous patents). If not, then someone else can come along and copy it. 47Labs could probably pursue litigation to get Audio Zone to change their product, but this would be costly. Some years ago, Mercedes Benz sued Lexus because their cars looked similar in appearance to the Mercedes "style." I don't think that case went anywhere.The review did nothing wrong. There is a product out there to be reviewed and it was reviewed. 6moons was very clear about the similarities between the products. The moral question belongs to Audio Zone and whether it was acting responsibly when it copied (but also apparently imrpoved upon) someone else's product. The market will tell.
