That is because we are all going to it to check it out.

Mr. Tigershark says: "You guys stop stealing my name!"

Lifeforms can be patented.

(OK, I'm having fun with this now, as the controversy is obviously over, it is a non-issue as expected.)

So I can modify some insignificant non-coding gene in the animal's DNA, and then patent Bonk's USS Tigershark!

edit: though laser eyes might be a nice addition...

That would be known as social engineering SEO (search engine optimisation). Though in this case it assumes a lot about the engineer.

There is a business patent lawsuit up before the U.S. Supreme Court now. If the invalidation of the patent is upheld it may include language severely restricting what is patentable.

Tell him you've commissioned a new starship.

The USS J.Buchholz

Ohhh snap.

Just out of curiosity, what ever happened with this moron?

nothing yet lol. It really wasnt an issue to begin with. But I thought it was funny what he was trying to pull. What makes it even funnier is long ago he asked me to do a kitbash for him for his site which i had done at that time.

Bonk, really, now. A guy that threatens legal action because he's claiming copyright over a ship name? That kinda guy isnt the kind we want in our community. I'm surprised you'd even consider it. These poeple like this need to be put in coffins as fast as you can nail them shut.

there's even a dude on ebay who makes and sells painted wood models. Raven/moonrakers concorde and the Courgeous class (by mayhem and queball) are in the listings.

Typo on the link before..

Dang...oh well, hehe.

Hey I know...let's all send him pics of models with USS TIGERSHARK...flood his email...let him know that he's being an out and out jerk about something he can't really control.

marstone · « **Reply #57 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:22:58 pm »

him and his crew of four (including himself).

GotAFarmYet? · « **Reply #58 on:** March 30, 2009, 08:10:19 pm »

I would not worry or waste any time on him or this.

If he puts it to a fight, the schematics section on his site alone is enough to shut him down. As are the paramount movie screen shots in the gallary section, not to mention someones art work that he removed the credits on; suure someone at SciFi-meshes will know who that pic belongs to.

either way this might just be an attempt to get views to his site, best just to drop it for now
