Another bizarre development in the Bodog vs. 1st Technology patent dispute
The weekend saw Bodog boss Calvin Ayre again taking an unusual path in his expensive confrontation with 1st Technology LLC and its head honcho Dr. Scott Lewis (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports) Good to his word that Bodog would extract maximum publicity from the contentious patents and domains affair, Ayre was again active on his blog, this time challenging his legal opponent to a good old fashioned, knockdown fight.
"I, Calvin Ayre, am challenging 1st Tech's Scott Lewis to a 3-round Bodog Fight rules MMA face pounding," he wrote. "Think he'll go for it? I've got a million bucks that says even if he does-and wins the fight-I'll still come out on top."
Ayre may have been reacting to 1st Technology's latest legal broadside - a statement that claims Ayre will be required to make an appearance in U.S. court or face a warrant for his arrest.
Ayre again blasted Lewis in his blog calling him an "…unethical thieving Patent Troll," who steals money from a legitimate product that is favoured by the consumer's market.
Ayre proposed a $1 million trust fund with a lawyer. The fight would be scheduled for three-rounds with Bodog fight rules in a jurisdiction in which the company is licensed. If Lewis wins he gets $1 million from Ayre but if Ayre wins Lewis would return the Bodog domains.
With a default judgement of $49 million already granted, and possession of the Bodog domains, it is unlikely that Dr. Lewis will respond.
Never one to mince words, in this latest bizarre challenge Ayre wrote: "Scott Lewis: you want money. I want to hit you… repeatedly. In a lawful way, of course. Three rounds. What do you say?"
