On May 5th, Taser International Inc. dropped the lawsuit it had filed against Linden Lab last month, filing a Notice of Voluntary Case Dismissal. Taser had filed the suit on April 17th, against Linden Lab and various smaller parties, including SL businesses, citing trademark infringement over virtual replicas of it’s nonlethal weapons sold without it’s permission.It was not explained why the suit was dropped, although some virtual goods within Second Life had their descriptions altered, stating they were not endorsed by Taser. Taser had dropped the case before Linden Lab had given any answer to them, and they could choose to file the suit again at another time.
