The Facts About MTH vs. Lionel

[MisterBeasley]

I haven't had a problem with my hot dogs since I switched to Dog Cooking Control, or DCC. With DCC, I can get precise temperature control over the full range, and with modern equipment I can add condiment functions with the touch of a button. It has sure come a long way since the old days of Direct Cooking.

RELISH!!!! On your hamburger are you insane???? Pickles only on burgers save the relish for your hotdogs!!!!

Don't make me call my lawyer and have a restraining order placed on your burger[dinner][:D][^][;)]

And furthermore, I think mustard and relish IS very good on a hamburger.

It's always been kind of nice to come to this MR forum to get away from all (or at least most of) the legal nonsense that pollutes the three-rail O scale world--most of which consists of rants posted by passionately biased folks who don't know a darn thing about what's really going on one way or another and, more importantly, have absolutely no role in the final outcome.

Invented speed?!? I think you mean MTH received a patent for control of a model train in 1 smph increments. Patents and inventions are two completely different things, and I have no idea where speed came into play.... [;)]

While I understand the need for the MTH loyal to be heard (I know I've preached enough), haven't we all had enough fun with this topic? More than half the resultant posts are from individuals that either know nothing (or next to nothing) about the issues involved, and just want to troll and post hate rants that have no impact on the issues being discussed.

Again, sorry to add another post to this topic. Peace out... [:)]

I'm wondering if the "facts" truth or fiction really matter anymore anyway. The legal morass that MTH has unleashed on the MRR world will have long term effects on their business. No sence in arguing semantics the damage has been done MTH is going to have a long uphill battle to regain the confidence they lost in the eyes of the purchasing public.This is perhaps the only important,decision. Lionel and MTH have both been harmed by this fiasco. Time will tell if either end up standing on their feet. Rob

Neil is right. Lionel stole nothing. The design data was paid for and purchased by a Korea Brass employee from a Samhongsha employee in a coffee shop.

What the transcripts won't explain is how a judge and jury came up with a figure of almost 40 million dollars in liability for a dozen or so locomotives made over four or five years that account for perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars or maybe as much as a million or so dollars a year in sales profits. These are companies whose total gross sales are not much more than 40 million dollars a year, of which locomotive sales constitute only a fraction. This is one of the major grounds for appeal of the initial verdict that Lionel will be pursuing, along with other substantive and procedural eyebrow raisers ;).
