i would be concerned if they (schneider) got uppity. I cant imagine the wisp market is a very big component of their suppression sales base, id say its multiple zeros after the decimal. BUT would you want to risk an injunction? They likely wouldnt not win, but that doesnt stop a cease and desist from being enforced. When i worked for the partner company and signed the no compete, he told me flat out that the paper was essentially useless and if i wanted to start up as a competitor to just add into my startup cost how much in legal fees i think he would burn slowing me up. should they decide to do it, I think the same would apply, and im guessing their resources is bigger than your resources.
poking a bear is not always the best course of action, no matter how much fun it may be or how good it may feel. Much the same dilema as the hot blond with the nice rack at the bar who has a questionable adams apple. You know it would probably be fun, and the chances of her having a crank under that dress is slim, but is it really worth it in the big scheme of things?
