Thanks for your update. I hear that there was an article in the Los Angeles Times today. Maybe you can post that on this site.

I just got back from my annual trip to Charleston, SC. I took a walk up Market St to see if the Trademark office was still open, and to my surprise it was, or I should say it was still occupied, the store itself was not open. They had racks and racks of T-shirts with the area partners logos that say “Here we grow.” These were probably the same tshirts that were on the same racks last year. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to stop by the Folly Rd. Office. I too would like to hear where the suit stands.

I am convinced there will be no “Area Partners.” I will be in Charleston next week for my annual trip (10+ years). I will be interested to see if the North Market office is still open, last year at this time there wasn’t much going on there. I also plan on stopping by the folly road office as I did last year. Last year there was a big sign that said Trademark Properties Global Headquarters Coming Soon in a big wooden lot just up from the current locations. The other interesting thing is their MLS listings… they have nothing going on?

A&E is going to stomp Mr. Davis in court based arguments. It does TV production for a living and it must surely protect its interests with contracts favored to its positions WHEN DEALING WITH THE MAN/WOMAN OFF THE STREET. Only TV series veterans would know how to eliminate onerous features of a proposed contract. Plus, Mr. Davis hurts his credibility with his wandering responses to discovery questions (Exhibit B). Oh well, he seems to have plenty of money to pay for his legal fees and since his system is remarkable he’ll make the money back in no time. As an aside, I’m waiting eagerly to see a posting of all the Trademark Area Partners.

I’d love to read more of Exhibit B, it cuts off right at the point of the discussion about Brad Pitt. I’d love to know what he has to do with this case.

The update is greatly appreciated. I often wondered what happened to the show which appeared weekly under Flip that House and now The Real Estate Pros every so often. I hope they settle their differences (I vote for Richard) and bring the show back on a regular schedule. Richard should be compensated 50/50 and expenses paid since he creates the great show and A&E should hand it over.

Thanks for the update. I figured there were extensions granted. There’s a bunch of us following this. As always your updates are appreciated.
