It should be no surprise the GW - a company almost 50 years old and the titan of its niche market - has been to court a few times in order to firmly establish its rights to its intellectual property and to its way of doing business. However, because it is the biggest gorilla in a very small room, whenever they flex their muscles, the landscape of the industry changes around them - and not always in the way that they hope or expect.

I take a trip through what I think are the most significant cases in GW's history - at least in terms of their significance to the modern hobby.
