Cold Case
As
reported last
year, Keith Whittle got heated and sued an old friend, Theo Cummings, who
had prosecuted a heated body pad patent for him gratis, for doing a bad job of
it; namely, leaving out the heated part. Whittle also sued Proctor & Gamble,
where Cummings used to work, and Theo's wife, for no good reason that the
presiding judge could figure. Tuesday
the judge pitched the case under
Federal
Civil Procedure Rule 12(b)(6) for failing to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted, the "what are we talking about?" rule. The judge will allow
Whittle to refile a more cogent complaint. Cogency does not appear to be Keith
Whittle's long suit.
