The Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, represented by Judge Melissa Carke, ruled today in favour of Whyte Bikes and against Rich Energy in the copyright dispute about the Rich Energy logo. The complete ruling can be read here (and should be read by all F1 fans, I think) and provides some highly interesting insight into the fascinating persona that is Rich Energy CEO William J. Storey.

The court ruling has a few highly amusing assessments of Mr Storey made by Judge Clarke, including this particular gem that sounds all too familiar to what we all thought when we first heard the... ambitious claims made when Rich Energy first appeared on the F1 stage:
It also sheds some light on the sales numbers of Rich Energy which were previously rather clandestine. There was the claim that Rich Energy had "produced 90 million cans", but no numbers on actual sales. Well...
