Aren't these the guys that tried to sue Apple for a quick buck around the release of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger? Sorry TigerDirect, I swore off you then.

- troymc 13y agoIf I understand trademark law correctly, a company must defend its trademarks or risk losing them. It wasn't about "a quick buck," it was about fulfilling the responsibilities of owning a trademark. It's hardly fair to fault TigerDirect for doing what the law requires of them. In this particular case, a judge had to make a judgement call about whether Apple's new "Tiger" OS trademark was an infringement on TigerDirect's trademark. It could have gone either way. That's why a judge was needed.
