Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

While I am not a lawyer, I do have some experience with business law.

I have spent the past hour reviewing these 2 documents.  It would appear 
that there was a ruling against Guitar Center for their bad faith use of the 
Simmons name on electronic drumkits with 3,000 GBP to be awarded to Dave 
Simmons.  Guitar Center filed an appeal which was shot down, and the payment 
to Dave Simmons was increased to 4,500 GBP.

So, it does appear that Dave has the rights to Simmons once again.

Subject: [Simmons Drums] Dave regained the rights to the Simmons name ??

Hi all - I came across the following documents on the Intellectual Property 
Office website.

Reading through the legal jargon (that I don't  understand !), does this 
mean Dave Simmons has regained the rights to the Simmons name from Guitar 
Centre ?

If so, :-)
