Nothing prevents the TMO from serving papers to all indepenents now? There is no need for precident. > precedent has > power! Precident generally has to do with rulings by a court of judges -- such as the Appeals Court and the Supreme Court where disputes over the interpetation of law are ruled upon. Jury trials generally don't set precidents. If the case is appealed, and a new interpretation of trademark law is made, that would set precident.
