AYRE FIREPROOF IN PATENT LITIGATION?
Latest blog boasts suggests so
Bodog founder Calvin Ayre continued his blog war of words against 1st Technology this week, building on his earlier challenge to 1stTech CEO Dr. Scott Lewis to a boxing duel (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports)
Ayre dismisses the 1st Technology threat to initiate a bench warrant if Ayre does not present himself before a Las Vegas court next month in the patent tussle that has resulted in Bodog being slapped with a $49 million default judgement and losing control of its domains.
In today's blog entry (25 October) Ayre writes: "After witnessing Bodog's ability to rapidly react to losing control of its domains, 1st Technology has issued a press release with a number of inaccuracies regarding the case and Ayre's actual legal involvement. Often contradicting the same points initially and legally argued by 1st Technology, the press release exposed a noticeable degree of desperation.
"It should be emphasized that Ayre has no connection to the company named in the lawsuit, Bodog Entertainment Group SA, a former supplier of data entry and other services including domain management, leading to Bodog.com's domains becoming involved in this inaccurately filed case. That company no longer holds rights for usage of the Bodog name.
"Currently undergoing a name change in light of this withdrawal, the now dormant and asset bare company was formally shut down as of September 2006, months prior to when 1st Technology claims to have properly served the legal notice.
"Furthermore, the fact that Ayre does not reside in the U.S. and thus would not be subject to any bench warrants, increasingly establishes the press release as an attempt to deface Ayre."
The Bodog chief additionally advises readers that his repeated "Patent Troll" taunts aimed at Lewis and his company are hitting home and have resulted in a personal email from Lewis with 'an informal request' to have the "Patent Troll" moniker withdrawn from any future references.
