It looks like Fusion Garage (http://www.engadget.com/tag/fusiongarage) is out to remind people that there's more than one $499 10-inch tablet in the world today: CEO Chandra Rathakrishnan is talking up the Joojoo tablet's pre-orders (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/fusiongarage-says-joojoo-pre-orders-went-up-after-ipad-announcem/), and the company's lawyers have filed a delightfully snippy motion to dismiss TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington's lawsuit (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/techcrunch-sues-fusion-garage-over-the-joojoo-we-break-it-dow/) over the device formerly known as CrunchPad (http://www.engadget.com/tag/crunchpad), saying his claims are "legally barred, facially flawed, and fatally imprecise." As we predicted from the outset (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/05/michael-arrington-says-crunchpad-litigation-is-imminent-provi/), the argument boils down to the fact that there was never any contract between Fusion Garage and Michael Arrington or TechCrunch -- and Fusion Garage also points out it can't have stolen an idea that Arrington posted "all over the Internet." Snap. It's a little more complicated than that, though -- we've broken it down after the break, grab the PDF (http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/engadget/files/FG_MotionToDismiss.pdf) and follow along.Continue reading Fusion Garage files to dismiss CrunchPad lawsuit (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/fusion-garage-files-to-dismiss-crunchpad-lawsuit/)
