Mercedes is seeking a patent on the automobile, a vehicular transport with four wheels and a motor driving two or more of those wheels. As the first company to produce an automobile they feel that their patent should be granted. They intend to force BMW, Audi and Volkswagen to stop selling automobiles in Germany. They have mentioned plans to file lawsuits against Holden in Australia, Toyota in Japan, and Ford in the United States for violation of patent.

This seems about as logical as a lawsuit over "slightly rounded corners."
