Judge tells self-titled 'Post-it inventor' to stick itFORT LAUDERDALE, Florida -- A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against the 3M Co. by a man who claims he invented Post-it notes. Alan Amron settled a 1997 lawsuit against 3M but sued again in January. He sought US$400 million in damages, claiming the Minnesota company breached its previous agreement not to take credit for the sticky-back paper products. U.S. District Judge James Cohn in Fort Lauderdale ruled Thursday that the previous settlement "unambiguously covers" Amron's claims. The company says two 3M scientists invented Post-its.
