This thread is getting pretty far off topic though so my last post on the subject of the Mai Tai court case comes verbatim from Trader Vic himself. As found in his last published work, the 1976 "Trader Vic's Helluva Man's Cookbook", the Trader didn't pull any punches: "I've said this a million times. We originated this drink; we made the first Mai Tai; we named the drink. A lot of bastards all over the country have copied it and copyrighted it and claimed it for their own. I hope they get the pox. They're a bunch of lousy bastards for copying my drink." Well said Trader!
