Won't Web searches about WorkBetter always point to news about this case now? Sort of bad PR even before the new company gets started. An 'out of court' settle

Won't Web searches about WorkBetter always point to news about this case now? Sort of bad PR even before the new company gets started.
An 'out of court' settlement would be better perhaps for both parties.
- jlgaddis 11y agoSince WorkBetter is a co-working space, I'm guessing that their target market is, largely, folks like many of us on HN: those in the tech industry who work remotely. These are the same people who are going to Google the company to gather as much info about it as possible and then be turned off or put off by the fact that they'd sue someone over a domain name dispute. Some people wouldn't care, obviously, but I wouldn't want to be a customer of an organization that filed such frivolous lawsuits just because they didn't get their way. A dismissal of the suit, initiated by the Plaintiff, would be in the best interest of both parties, in my opinion.
- keithpeter 11y agoSuch an outcome would be much cheaper as well. Not quite a co-working space but the place below has sprung up in Birmingham as part of a much larger organisation (or franchise) http://birmingham.impacthub.net/what-is-impact-hub/ http://birmingham.impacthub.net/what-is-impact-hub/
