In the trademark conflict between Obelix and the Open Source Project MobiliX - UniX on Mobile Computers (http://mobilix.org) the next pass of Obelix is out. "Lés Editions Albert René" as the legal representative of the trademark (how could it be else) rejects the arguments of the MobiliX lawyers.
Remarkable in the document are the insults at the end, which don't seem usual for writings from lawyers. The legal trouble is documented since its beginning at the MobiliX webpages and is discussed in many mailing lists and news groups. This seems to have impressed the plaintiffs. They now accuse MobiliX of inventing "a new kind of electronical terror", and are ready to sentence MobiliX. It will be interesting to know, which sentence the plaintiff will invent against critical discussion in news groups. The court in Munich (Germany) has set the date for the first hearing to June 12th 2002. In November 2001 Werner Heuser, owner of the Open Source project MobiliX - UniX on Mobile Computers (http://mobilix.org) was charged by "Lés Editions Albert René", which is owner of the trademark "Obelix". The charge aimes on a deletion of the trademark "MobiliX" and a compensation fee. Werner Heuser has taken the lawyers Jaschinski Biere Brexl (JBB) (http://www.jbb-berlin.de) to represent him in court. Their legal response (PDF, 22 pages in German) and the documentation of the case is available online (http://mobilix.org/mobilix_asterix.html). -- |=| Werner Heuser <wehe(@)mobilix.org> [this space for rent] |=| http://MobiliX.org HOWTOs on using UniX on Mobile Computers |=| http://Xtops.DE Laptops and PDAs pre-installed with UniX |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
