Someone should patent prepainted miniatures and show it to WotC.

Or did WotC patent that too?

I'm sure at the time that Wizkids did not think that WotC would try to undermine them back in 2000. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

I think they have a solid case against Wizards. Hasbro has gone awfully silent about the whole thing, almost as if they are pulling back in the face of being labeled "Wrong" in this situation.

You know, in Arkansas, we had a saying: "Patent law??? Get 'em under the stairwell!" (well, that was a saying for non patent law attorneys' anyway).
