Blue Spring v. #ScheduleA - This complaint (filed by Boies Schiller) is going in my all-time worst design patent infringement claims file:
https://www.scribd.com/document/708509893/Blue-Spring-v-Schedule-A-Complaint
Not only are the two design patent infringement claims that are actually alleged in the complaint absolutely baseless, the plaintiff (or perhaps more correctly, their attorneys) don't seem to understand the difference between a design patent and a utility patent.
A reminder: Boies Schiller is the same law firm that represented "SCO" (who were NOT even the original SCO they implied they were!) in their ludicrous, vexatious, failed money grab against IBM over the rights to Linux. Their briefs in that case were a marvel of incoherence, fallacious reasoning, false premises, and "Look! A monkey!" switcheroos.
Their slimy tactics included submitting discovery of source code as reams of hardcopy fanfold, and a deliberately hard-to-search computer.
(Surely their briefs in that case must be taught in law schools as an example of what never to do?)
So I, for one, am utterly unsurprised to se their name associated with lunatic litigation.
To paraphrase Monty Python and The Holy Grail, I fart in their general direction!
