…..or Streetly could save the expense of a lawsuit that would possible break their bank.  Only the lawyers are guaranteed

to walk away as winners.  There have been many variations on the model named “B3” by Hammond yet even though they certainly

have deeper pockets than Streetly they don’t bother with it.  Please save your money and let the products compete in the

open market.  It ~is~ publishable business news as “sour grapes” from a company that is in fear of a competitor and that could

backfire on Streetly.  Do what you feel is in the best interest of your company but I think there is room for both products in this market.

It is a risky, irresponsible  thing fo Markus to do. It is bad for business all around.  It is publishable business news.  It hurts David directly.  Any mainstream help investment etc will be strictly old school tie or dads friends for everybody at this point until this goes away.

 

From a Wharton business school perspective, the best way to solve this is to do a pr and court blitz on Markus and drag David in to accelerate the legal costs overall. The first day would cost $60k overall roughly, Whoever is incorporated in the US/Canada pays the most.

It begs the question whether you have attempted to ask Markus yourself
and if so, what the response was. And if not, why?
