Phonemes Features’ Troll-Suit Targets

SpecGram Tech Wire

NUEVA ESCRANTON: Linguistic intellectual property troll company Exbār has brought an infringement suit against the IPA, claiming that its member symbols simply repackage material from distinctive features. “They’re like the Huffingdon Post,” said Exbār representative Kaliko Dreeg in an interview outside the courtroom, “They take my clients’ information and just reassemble it, add a blurb or two from people with fake doctorates, and present it as if it’s theirs.”

The IPA is denying any wrongdoing, and its defense team has received strong support from an unlikely source: a coalition of neural subassemblies from The Motor Cortex, a processing consortium, has filed a friend of the court briefing stating that the distinctive features “[a]re blatantly taking credit for work done by MoCo shareholders.” MoCo and the IPA have a working relationship that goes back to the nineteenth century, but traditionally have not interacted much in the courts. The Huffingdon Post has since objected to Dreeg’s characterization as well, and has announced that it will sue for defamation as soon as Mercury comes out of retrograde and it can find a free Baldwin to write the charges.
