To me, this is the non-starter in negotiations.
My former employer, Desire2Learn, which I believe is your LMS at Ottawa U, was sued by Blackboard in Lufkin, Texas. I was working there at the time they were sued.
The system is so flawed because you're appearing in front of a jury of regular, everyday Texans, at a time when they look at it as a Canadian company stealing American jobs, in high-tech language with high-tech terminology—some high, some low.
They were sued for infringing on the word “user”. When you have to go and spend millions of dollars that you're trying to spend to build your company on lawsuits in Texas, it is not at all a system to make the world a better place, or in this case, to make education a better place.
I hope that through our negotiations... but how do you get through the court system in the U.S.? Is there a way to get through that in NAFTA?
