Thanks. Interesting article, but short of some the pertinent facts; the real
cost. It's clear that it's greater than $100 and less than $1000. Maybe.

I actually discussed this with the owner of one of the major importers
and the licensing cost for the saw-stop (plus the device) was much
closer to the 1000 dollar cost


Interestingly, the article talks about emotions overwhelming facts, then
throws out this clunker; "If CPSC adopts a rule in the next year, it might
well be referred to as The Patent Attorney's Relief Act of 2012".

One of the things that Gass forgets is an action the Government can take
on Patents that relate to public safety. They seize the Patent(s) in
question and allow any firm to compete.

Yes, the owner of the Patent(s) is compensated, but certainly not to the
level Gass is certainly dreaming of.
