Read my post again, that is not what I wrote. What I wrote was "should have had to pay a royalty or at least been granted consent." ONE or BOTH of those events should have taken place in advance of entering into a business endeavor using what Shelby claims is his property, not after. And both events generally remove forever any need for litigation. The Hurricanes and FFRs and everyone else using his trademarks and designs could have sought consent via licensing from Shelby in advance of any litigation, but chose not to. So, if they get sued, they deserve it. If it puts them out of business, well if they were commercializing off of Shelby's property, then they weren't legitimately in business in the first place then were they?
