Well there is a big difference between a Guerrilla and a Gorilla they both sound the same but the meaning is totally different.
I don't believe this is semantics and yes it's a bit sneaky but I think it is legit.
Does anyone remember the tussle between apple records and apple computers way back?
The resolution was apple records wouldn't make computers and apple computers wouldn't release music.
Both companies were arguing over the name "apple" this is not the case with Guerrilla glue, as I mentioned Guerilla and Gorilla have totally different meanings and no-one can patent the word "Glue".
Guerrilla glue could just use the word "Gloo" and that might be enough to end proceedings.
As Guerilla Glue have stated they don't make glue and so I refer back to the apple story, where each company agrees not to make each others stock in trade.
So Gorilla Glue would agree not to breed cannabis and Guerilla Glue would agree not to make glue or adhesives.
Withe the apple story an apple is an apple but a Guerrilla is not a Gorilla.
In the UK we have the word "Boy" and the word "Buoy" (not pronounced Boo-ee in the UK) which is derived from the word "Buoyant" (Boy-ant).
These two things are also distinctly different there should never be any argument if there are two companies that want to use these two different words to name their companies, because they sound the same does not mean they are the same!
Consider the word "Flower" and the word "Flour" no one would call a cannabis forum The AutoFlour Network but a automated bakery forum might.
I think we all know which is which...right! I don't see any bakers getting confused and coming here by mistake and vice versa, unless they like a smoke that is!

Patenting cannabis is a whole different ball game and this is where it gets really serious because these people really don't play nice and will take what they can and then try and destroy anything the can't own!
