(Slow night, too tired to work in the shop, so I'm mulling this over in public) What's in a name? Do you folks recall the lawsuit brought on by Sony Corporation against a woman named Sony who wanted to call her food shop by her same name? It makes me wonder about some of the names used in our circle here. "Delta" for example; There is Delta Airlines, Delta faucets, Delta truck bed tool boxes, and probably at least another half dozen I have never heard about. (And no, I have not taken any time to do any internet searches). Then there is Gorilla; Gorilla Glue and tape, Gorilla laders, Gorilla Dust collectors (from Oneida), and probably another bunch I don't know about. I'm not trying to get a discussion going against Sony but I do not recall any lawsuits brought against woodworking tool manufacturers because of name infringement. Any comments? Anybody else having a slow night? Marc
