Going to court? Jay Z accused of not responding to $600m lawsuit over Brooklyn Nets trademark issue

Someone thinks Jay Z should hand over a ton of money and do so in a timely manner.
Bronx entrepreneur Dr Francois de Cassagnol filed a $600m lawsuit against Jay Z and the NBA for a trademark violation of the name Brooklyn Nets. Now the Dr is complaining he's been given the runaround as his complaints have gone unaddressed, according to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.
The plaintiff wants to take the rapper to court.

De Cassagnol has filed new court documents that claim Jay Z is in 'default' and his co-defendants of legal 'mischief.'
Radar claims the plaintiff alleged he got 'no response' following his January 23 service of his complaint to Jay Z’s 40/40 Club in Manhattan.
'Thereby Mr. Carter was in full default,' de Cassagnol claimed, 'and I’ve requested for this court to act accordingly.'
He wants to 'serve the rapper with a certificate of default,' according to the site.
The Empire State Of Mind singer sold his shares of the team to Jason Kidd in 2013.
The Brooklyn Nets used to be the New Jersey Nets, but the name was changed in 2012 when they moved back to New York.
But the husband of Beyonce - together they have daughter Blue Ivy - still owns a percentage of the Nets’ home, Barclays Center.
De Cassagnol also insisted the NBA has not behaved either.
He accused them of having 'done every human effort NOT to get service' of the lawsuit.
He claimed he has been given incorrect addressed to send mail to.
He also said the NBA has asked for an extension before going to court but he doesn't think they deserve one because they have been evading him.

'For the last 10 years I’ve continuously reached out to these folks and in return all I got is insult after insult,' he said.
'Now it’s time to go on trial to finally resolve these issues... based on the mischiefs …I had no intention of extending any time extension for the defendants…. It’s time for these folks to start following the rules like everyone else.'
De Cassagnol also said thiese alleged staling methods have only brought him more pain as his wife fights cancer.
