definitely biased, but i thought is interesting just from the history perspective of the trademark (i skipped over most of the court case stuff) - top part it's worth reading though.

I think it's all irrelevant since the MB/GPW grill is 9 slots and the one that is trademarked is 7 slots.  This guy just got caught using the logo and now has to defend himself.  It's also pretty ironic that the iconic grill is a cheap stamped version of the original steel bar grill that could be taken off and used to grill meat, making it much more useful!   :blbl:
