    This. How many lawyers do you reckon Has/Tak must have on retainer?

    This is easy money for them.

    More then me. The company profited in billions this past year. A start up gps company is an ant to them.

    That profit makes me wonder where mattel went wrong.

    While I wrote my post I didn't notice that mistake. You also have to take in consideration that english is not my main language, I'm portuguese.

    Anyway, many posts are clarifying the whole subject, which is good. I was a bit shocked to see a product named AutoBot without being related to Hasbro or TakaraTomy. I wonder what the future holds for this.

    or the company could be paying Hasbro some form of royalties for use of their AutoBot trade mark.

    Well, I just made the same blunder in an IRC channel last night. ;) 

    But I immeadiately caught it.

    Do you think I'm an American? ;) 

    Besides, I couldn't have told you're not a native speaker, which is a good thing!

    I think hasbro could put in a case & win. because the word autobot has been used since 1984 by Hasbro for the transformers toy lines.
