Seems stupid to me to blow huge amounts on a legal battle over a public
domain description. Ritchey-Chretien is hardly a brand name.
Also, how many buyers of $4000, or $40,000 scopes don't know exactly
what they're buying?
Frivolous lawsuits against industry leaders doesn't seem like good
business to me. If I were a potential buyer of such a pricey scope
(HA!), I would question the business sense of the company, and their
ability to make sound decisions into the future. A shuttered company
isn't very good at customer support.
My $0.02

It's already cost RCOS a sale. I had planned on a 24" RC from them in
the next year or two. No more, however- this isn't a company I want to
deal with anymore.
