X-pipe = no no

X-pipe = no no
I received a certified letter today from Mr. Monty Campbell. Monty owns the trademark "X-Pipe" and just about all other terms with "X" in them. He requested that I not use "X-Pipe" or any confusingly similar mark in any publication or editorial content. Therefore, I have removed all reference to X Pipe from my web site. I replaced the "X Pipe" term with "V^2", or V squared. I had always thought that X pipe was a generic description of how two pipes were joined. Apparently, not so. He even has a patent on it and seems quite proud of discovering something that has been around for quite a number of years. www.x-pipe.com
So, no more references to X pipes here. I suppose the RennPolice will uphold that suggestion so we'll have no future problems with Mr. Campbell.
It's fine with me if you want to refer to X pipes as V^2 pipes though.
Do you suppose there is a trademark or patent on "H pipe", or "Straight pipe", "Headers"? How about trademarking "Wheel" denoting something that's round? Wonder if you could get a patent on air?

Check out what he has to say regarding the Corvette system:
"The real X-PipeTM designed and developed by the real inventor of the X-PipeTM; Monty Campbell "
"Converts excess sound pressure (noise) into increased cylinder pressure (adding 18+ RWBHP)"
"Generates 3 power peaks; at 2,000, 4,000, & 6,000 rpm!"
"Exciting, 4 channel Surround Sound experience "
But the best quote is near the bottom:
"No copy cats, please."
Hey, he did say please.....
What a bunch of crap.

I think you should call 'em "Monty Campbell" pipes, patent them, then tell him to take all references to "Monty Campbell" of his website or you'll sue his ***.
What a pin-head.
I like "Ott-pipes", has nice ring to it.
