Yeah, I have to chuckle every time I see a Batteriser backer on IGG talk of a lawsuit. There is no lawsuit. There can be no lawsuit. These people willingly gave their money to Batteriser without doing their own due diligence (or even thinking it through for a moment) as an investment... A donation... There is no guarantee of ever receiving your
perk. These backers seem to misunderstand that they didn't
BUY anything, they may well never receive their "perks" for their donation...
They can ask for a refund or bluster about a lawsuit all they want but that's not how investments and donations work. You consider the money
GONE as soon as it leaves your hand. In most cases it is
very, very difficult to prove seekers of funding were not acting in good faith and fraudulently took your money. This one is almost there on the tech but people should have realized that before forking over money!
HA! HAHAHAHA!!.... Suckers!!

The only people that really could call foul are those who have
ACTUALLY ORDERED THEIR PRODUCT on the Batteriser website and never receive it. This is likely to be a very small number of people and given the small value of the good in question, it is highly unlikely anyone would ever bother to waste the money to sue. Also, anyone who talks of class action fundamentally doesn't even understand how class action suits work. There will never be a class action suit in this kind of case.
The IGG backers are simply SOL.
As fot the Energizer thing, remember that is
NOT a lawsuit either. Energizer opposed their
application for the Batteriser trademark. If Batteriser
SHIPS with the Batteriser name without getting that cleared up (and there are several possible ways that can be done in these circumstances) one way or another,
THAT would open them up to lawsuits with potentially devastating damages.
As it sits right now, Energizer is
NOT suing Batteriser.
(At least not yet!
