OneWheel does not own or run CES, how would they have the power to deny an application?<p>I agree it would have been a better move if they could have convinced CES to handle the matter quietly. Lots of reasons why that may not have been possible.<p>Whether or not the publicity is even positive for one wheel -- they are seen calling in the feds, being generally litigious, and calling attention to the competitor -- is another question.  He was definitely doing his best to spin it positive in the Bloomberg article saying this is good for the marketplace, etc.
