Ferrari deserves to get sue for tempting to draw redneck Nascar fans over to F1.

So Ferrari can counter this and say Ford gained value by suing and thus any increase in F150 sales should go to Ferrari???

Very smart Hani! Actually, the law prohibits this. Otherwise, it is certainly logical.

I was surprised. But - after thinking about it - I realized that Ford can't let this go or it might send a message to others that it is not vigilant at protecting its IP.

Simba, Esq. made that point very correctly even before me.

Ford really had no choice but to go down this road. I don't think this even crossed anyones mind at Ferrari, but Ford has to show the world that they are serious about protecting their IP.
