Gopro Potentially Infringe Polaroid's Patent

[Lurch]

Apparently the Hero Session might be aesthetically too similar to the Polaroid Cube.

If Apple can sue for a rectangle having rounded edges then it doesn't surprise me that Polaroid can sue for a cube.

What a world we live in, eh?

 

[SighBored]

If the Session was cylinder shaped then Drift would sue instead? Ha-ha.

Waste a few grand on a legal thing, get PR and sales

Think of a reason to back out of the case....done

 

[BlackMamba]

Gopro will win as they have to big a fan base to give a shit..... and Polaroid Cube will have better sales while the case is on!

All GoPro will do is find a Chinese square camera etc and prove its not a new idea

GoPro will sick their dog pack of publicly traded lawyers on this and that'll be that!

People are so retarded. It seems the only way to make some real money is to sue the crap out of someone. If it's blatant plagiarism then yes, but otherwise? Please let it go.

I don't know if it's true but I once heard of a woman suing McDonalds because she burned herself on her coffee from there. People will sue over everything nowadays.

I'll find the related stories but I think it turned out that MCDs had an offer of free coffee top ups at that times as well. To stop people actually topping up, they made it silly hot so people ran out of times before finishing it properly

Yes that was real and Seinfeld did a whole parody episode about it. Kramer gets free latte's for life and turns in to a tweaker on caffeine

Which is fair enough I think.
