Send lawyers, lightning and dictionaries
Thanks to Boing Boing I had to smile once I followed their link to Lightning on Demand's legal woes regarding what is now called the Lorentz Gun. The editor in me (who admittingly often misses my own typos) couldn't help but notice that the otherwise thorough legal counsel from TASER International neglected to address Lightning on Demand by its correct name and called them Lighting on Demand. I wonder if that sort of thing affects the legality of the notice. Maybe not. At any rate, given the nature of the offended party's complaint, it's ironic that they misspelled the name of the company they put on notice.
