I'm starting this thread for those that want to follow the legal cases that Yowie are involved in.  First, here are some old threads with legal information:

Ann: Litigation Update - Yowie Prevails at Trial-YOW.AX
Wrapping machine case

Now, for anyone who wants to read the actual court documents:

If you are lucky your IP address won't be blocked and you will be able to search by name or case number.  Yowie brings up a few cases and Whetstone brings up other cases where Hank is involved.  The Yowie case numbers are: CA16-0074 and CA16-1163.

A few days ago I requested to view some documents in each of Yowie's cases.  They are now visible on the system.  CA16-1163 Answer / Jurisdiction and Venue from the 5th of December is a good read.  It looks like Yowie's defence is based on the fact that they aren't using the patent and shouldn't pay royalties against it as was claimed in the complaint.  I haven't had a chance to study the answer against the complaint (which is only in my memory from having read it a few weeks back), but it would be worth comparing each numbered answer.  In any case I am not a lawyer and I don't have any time right now so I would be interested in what others glean from this when I return later today.

The document I requested to view on CA16-0074 was the motion to compel.  Unfortunately that one is still unavailable for viewing.
