Okay I feel for you Rod...er G.. I'm officially upping my price from 39 cents to
40
Of COURSE Honeywell will dislike you using their name, DUH!
Here's a thought, think of a decent name that doesn't infringe on Honeywell then you won't have to tell anyone they are not dealing with Honeywell
Yes, as I recall Jim was rather "unprofessional" in his dealings with the court. You definitely don't tell a Federal Court Judge that she has "no jurisdiction" or thumb your nose at her when your IN court. I think he had a good case but some of the things he wrote telegraphed his total disdain for the process (words best "thought" than "said"). Granted, Brinks really didn't have a leg to stand to begin with. They DON'T (and never have) manufactured their own panels. Every user and installer manual I saw had the Honeywell logo on it!
They may not have manufactured the equipment but they likely have the rights to it.
They have the rights to the Brinks Logo, but to sue Jim because he's selling "their" re-badged programmer should not have turned out the way it did. Jim's defense submittals mentioned this, but his point was lost when he told the judge to "shove it".

Yea judges tend to frown on that stuff I'm told
Hey G why'd you delete all the Honeywell posts? :)
But none of us know what the agreement was between Brinks and Arrowhead (I assume it was them since they originally made the programmer.
Would I have a legal right to sell and install something branded with your companies name on it? Even without any agreement I doubt it.
I didn't. Use a real newsreader and reader.
Also, learn about the x-no-archive=yes. Google automatically deletes them after 7 days.

I do it all the time. All the stuff I sell is "branded" and no one has an issue (DSC, Ademco, Simplex, Edwards, etc.). I think part of Brink's argument was that they actually "owned" the equipment and "rented" it to end-users. There is a valid argument that if an end-user cancels his monitoring agreement, and Brinks doesn't come out to remove the equipment, it could be considered "abandoned".
rights to it.

our companies name on it? Even without any agreement I doubt it.
Since I assume none of us are lawyers we can't be sure what the law is rega= rding an old panel however Brinks is the only one I've ever seen with print= ing on the box stating they own the equipment. Like that made any differenc= e since I've ripped them out many times.
About the only fact is Brinks won and Rojas lost
