Sonos stock can climb 60%, Barron's says 09:23 SONO, GOOGL, GOOG Most companies that go up against the tech goliaths end up getting destroyed or swallowed. One of the few to hold its own is smart-stereo company Sonos (SONO), Avi Salzman writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Far from being destroyed, Sonos is prevailing against one rival, at least in the courtroom. The company recently won a preliminary ruling in a patent-infringement case against Alphabet (GOOGL) over the design of its smart speakers, which could lead to a new licensing revenue stream, the author notes. Demand for Sonos products has soared in the past year, and its growth isn't yet reflected in its stock price, he adds.
Are they allowed to use the name Chiefs? The Cleveland Indians changed their name. I think the name they picked, belonged to a roller-derby team or something lol. Now they have to pay big $s to some defunct roller-derby operation. You'd think a billion dollar sports franchise would have lawyers do a little DD. No one in the entire operation thought to do a Google search?!!!! wtf? -------------- Ok Stoney.... are you in Sonus, and if so at what price? The GBA stats people need a price for the official record. I know you've been talking about it for awhile, we'll use $31.82. So far so good. ************************ The Cleveland Indians/Guardians are being sued by a roller derby team, which is as hilarious as it sounds By Shane Ryan October 28, 2021 Share this story Icon Sportswire After years of controversy, Cleveland's baseball team will be switching its name from the Indians to the Guardians for the 2022 season. It's a long-overdue change, and as far as new nicknames go, "Guardians" is fine—it referencesart deco sculptures on the city's Hope Memorial Bridgethat have been around since 1932, and any name with that kind of local flavor is fine, even if it accidentally sounds like they're nodding to a Marvel film franchise. There's just one problem, and it's a hilarious one: There's a roller derby team in Cleveland called the Guardians, they've been around since 2013, and they just sued the baseball team for trademark infringement. PerESPN: The all gender roller derby team is based in the Cleveland suburb of Parma. It formally registered the name Cleveland Guardians in 2017 with the Ohio secretary of state and has been selling team merchandise since 2014, the lawsuit said. RELATED: PETA is proposing the MLB rename the “bullpen” the “arm barn” (this is not a joke) With all due respect to the sport of roller derby, this is an insanely funny thing to happen to Cleveland baseball. If you repeat the sentence "the Cleveland Indians/Guardians are being sued by a roller derby team from Parma" over and over again, you may actually be at risk of death by laughter. It's the kind of plot point that would be right at home inVeep, but it's real life, and it's glorious. What's interesting here is that it seems like the baseball team knew this could be a problem. According to the lawsuit, they filed their trademark application last April in Mauritius, the African island nation, which is a weird thing to do if you're not trying to hide it from something. Full disclosure, we are not business gurus, so maybe there's another reason, but it raises an eyebrow. Then, in June, they contacted the Guardians and asked for a picture of their jerseys. The roller derby squad responded by offering to sell the naming rights, the Indians came back with an offer, but it wasn't good enough—hence, the lawsuit. RELATED: Steve Elkington's custom-made World Series Astros shirt is a work of art The demands of the suit are incredible, and essentially give the team two options: either use a different name, and then spend a ton of money promoting not just that new name, but also the fact that they won't use "Guardians" anymore, or else use the name "Guardians" but literally give the roller derby team the equivalent of their entire advertising and promotions budget. Here's another sentence from the ESPN story that will make you laugh: Mark Sommers, a Washington-based trademark attorney for the Finnegan law firm, said a judge would have to determine whether the Guardians name will cause confusion for fans who follow both the baseball and roller derby teams. We here at The Loop volunteer ourselves as dual fans of both the baseball and roller derby team. It's not quite true, but if it validates this lawsuit, we can make it work. It's too good a story to go away, and while this is quite obviously a play for more money by the roller derby team, we hope it goes on and on, and ends with a nickname like Cleveland Baseball Team. One more thing: the roller derby team also owns the rights to ClevelandGuardians.com, and if you want to read about how funnythatfight can become, learn from the greatest website ever,CharlotteBobcats.com.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It's like this analyst... he's sitting around and all the sudden the light comes on.... gee, there's gonna be a million EV's on the road. "I'll do a google search on chargers". Anyone with half a friggin brain saw this coming like 4 years ago. I'm sure the stock will pop on Monday from whatever rag posted this... but rest assured, just like all the other cut and pastes you share Stoney, void of any common sense regarding the bigger picture... it will give it all back and then some. The record speaks for itself.
No you are misreading the whole thing., The upgrade came out Fri and the stk had a $3 move and reversal. Now the CC to save that I'm sure.... Yo Yo trade.
Yea SONOS I've been buying in all accounts like crazy I think I started at $28. Use Mondays number because I'll be buying more. I want to put it in my kids acct along with either ACC or the copper play I need a div stk...

Stoney, There's a couple things with this one. 1) SPAC 2)One analyst follows it. 3) Lock-up 5.1.2 Except as permitted by Section 5.2, the Original Holder shall not Transfer (A) any Private Placement Warrants for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Original Holder Warrant Lock-up Period”) or (B) any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned or owned of record by the Original Holder until the earliest of: (i) the date that is one (1) year from the Closing Date, (ii) the last consecutive trading day where the sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, or (iii) such date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Original Holder Share Lock-up Period”, and together with the Original Holder Warrants Lock-up Period, the “Original Holder Lock-up Period”). 4) They're a one trick pony. These chargers will be commoditized. Phillips makes them. ( https://evocharge.com/ ) Even "Amazon Basics" offers a line of chargers lol. I guess that's like Walmart's Equate .There's a ton of companies making them. Your ChargePoint makes them too. +++++++++++++++++++ Anyway, I know you don't like SPAC's and I guess you didn't notice that so I thought I'd point it out. It has been trading for a few weeks. I'd watch that lock-up. They have some kind of update coming out on November 4rth.
