Interesting...

“Not just another clone but instead a blatant counterfeit of Klon’s legendary pedal”: Klon creator Bill Finnegan is suing Behringer over the design of its Centaur Overdrive

Finnegan has accused Behringer's “counterfeit” pedal of using Klon’s trade dress and “exploiting” his firm's reputation

The bad thing is, Uli Behringer may have a lot more money to fight.....

One reason for me not to buy any of their crap

This isn't the first pirating suit brought against behringer...nor will it be the first they've lost. behringer has been nailed before for precisely this behavior. It is, after all, their buisness model. A friend, Andy Marshal of THD fame, experienced the same sort of heathen bullshit at their hands with his PicoValve. They reverse engineered it and brought out the Booger T5 infinium.

There's an expression dedicated to their shit:
