Re: IODesign Files Suit Against CORE

For thos interested in reviewing the judge's rejection in IOD's previous 
lawsuit (against the IAHC), see:

	<http://www.brandenburg.com/misc/iodesign-judge.html>


I just noticed the following language from it:

I wonder how IOD will argue that their proprietary interest has changed?

For that matter, how the heck do they justify central California as the 
legal venue, given CORE in Switzerland and Stubbs in Florida?
