Wow, I just got duped into watching a cellrderm commmercial. Their ad looks like the intro to a bad porno. Its obviously cheaper to file frivolous lawsuits to get exposure, than to actually pay to get your ad aired.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

+1, said it all. Cheap company and ad like that, it's easier for them to sue MS and get exposed than try to make it on their own.

So, anything having to do with men too much into tech stuff and forsaking attention to their wives will have to pay Cellrderm royalties? These guys are going to get really rich...
MS may lose this lawsuit simply because it's "the big company". It looks good for them judges to defend the rights of smaller companies so they seem bit humanitarian and against monopoly.
As someone else before said, "why would MS copy this crap?" really, I doubt they have ever even watched it.

You better becareful if you make home porno movies now you too can get sued to for copyright, with such classics as "copyrightable expression, including but not limited to clothing, gestures, character appearance, camera angles, and other visual elements from the Cellrderm Commercials." (all which I failed to see in microsoft's commercial)

So now the "patent" wars spread to all other areas of business. I need to hop real quick and copyright smiles and hugs, and green striped shirts yeah? Get rich as all hell! And camera angles! All upward-facing 35-50 degree angles are mine, gimme gimme gimme! ...WTF
But really, I've not even watched the commercials, and this screams retarded. Commercials play off each other all the time and I can't say I've ever seen law suits involved in it all, but according to the written word of others they aren't even similar.

Exactly.. If you cannot make money the right way you sue someone or some company with money and hope that you can BS your way to winning.

Surprised they didn't try the same thing with Sony, where the woman is being ignored by both her husband and the fictional Kevin guy while they play PS3.
