Mike invites Nick Gingo of Renner Otto IP Law Firm in Cleveland, OH back to the channel to discuss the latest updates on the Jim Stoppani / PhD Fitness vs. Bodybuilding.com Lawsuit.

The summary is that the judge is at least willing to HEAR Stoppani's side out, in a way agreeing that this contract is so ridiculously written that Stoppani argues he never would have signed it had it been interpreted the way Bodybuilding.com is attempting to have it interpreted.

We now believe the parties will enter into discovery, and in MIKE'S non-legal opinion, this fight will probably continue because there's no point Stoppani would settle now - chips are on the table and his hand has just been improved!
