As a funny bit found in the 3rd link on "really" dumb crypto-bros:
> The American supermarket chain and cookie butter paradise, Trader Joe's, has filed a lawsuit against the popular Trader Joe decentralized exchange. According to the lawsuit, the supermarket believes the exchange is trying to benefit off the supermarket's popularity.
> This is actually the second such lawsuit by the supermarket against the exchange, after the first was thrown out when defendants claimed that they had simply named the project after the co-founder's brother, Joe. However, shortly after the victory, a co-founder admitted on their blog that they "just named it Trader Joe, after the supermarket".
> Trader Joe's is seeking all profits made by the exchange, plus damages and compensation for the failed lawsuit last year.
- bozhark 3y agoAll profits? Why not a licensing fee with retroactive pricing?
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Why not a licensing fee with retroactive pricing? I doubt the supermarket wants to be affiliated with a crypto exchange.
- jrockway 3y agoThis is probably a negotiating tactic. Ask for the world, compromise down to what you're actually looking for.
- duskwuff 3y ago> Why not a licensing fee with retroactive pricing? Because their goal is to get the exchange to stop using their name. Charging a licensing fee would be the opposite of that.
