Slingbox Hardware

The very popular Slingbox maybe in trouble because of a trademark issue.  Stuart Mershon claims he has a patent on the device already.  Well that is not good.. why didn’t he create it and not just think about it.  Get original Mr. Mershon and make your own money. With such a big company like Slingbox which was a very creative idea you’d think they would have spend a little bit of time and made sure there wasn’t a trademark issue. Searching trademarks when starting a business (especially technology) is a very common step. Of course many companies don’t care. They prefer to make tons of money first off of it then figure out all the troubles later after they get sued.
