Did you post about this before or did I read about it in New Scientist or something, crazy shit.
I might have posted it before. I'd say it happens a bit though.
I just imagine these hoards of lawyers, scanning the Web, looking for something to do to justify their existence and their 6 figure salaries.
I still have the mail somewhere.
Dear XXX
I find that you are using the name XXX7 to identify a gene...
They actually use the words "cease and desist". I thought that was just like a general name for that type of letter or something.
Please cease and desist from using XXX7 to refer to anything except our instrument by that name.
