Seems somewhat strange. How hard could it have been to have weird ass playing cards printed up?

And what, exactly, will this end up costing the Washington taxpayer? More than the $25,000 that was taken? Oh yes, it's an election year. Silly me. I thought this was about the consumers getting fleeced.

It's this kind of attitude that allowed patent trolls to flourish for so long. Companies decided it was cheaper to pay them off than litigate. You go to court to show not only that you won't be bent over the table, but also to ward off others from doing the same, even if it's more expensive and difficult in the short term.
