So it came as a surprise to industry insiders and fans alike, when Thicke and Williams filed a preemptive lawsuit against the estate of Marvin Gaye in August 2013. According to a summary judgment obtained , Williams鈥?camp <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Eyeglasses-Frames>Michael Kors Shoes</a> offered this as their reasoning:

The only reason Defendants claim infringement here is because Plaintiffs made certain comments in promoting their record about being inspired by Marvin Gaye.

-California accounts for roughly 40 percent of the nation鈥檚 electric vehicle sales, and those sales are accelerating. In 2012, Californians bought 6,197 pure electric cars 鈥?such as the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S 鈥?and 14,701 plug-in hybrids, including the Chevy Volt.

-Electrics still represented just 1.3 percent of new car sales in California last year, while plug-in hybrids were 1.2 percent.
