Looks like the SawStop competition is heating up. This is a
pretty good review of the job site saw by a Bosch rep.

Nice to see that the SawStop patents did not choke the competition
as some thought might happen.

The fat lady hasn't taken the stage.

Actually she has. The saw is on the market, that is all it had to
do.

Not so. That's only the start of the opera (Gass now has no trouble
proving damages).

Would have already happened.

No, krw is right here. You can't sue for infringement of patent
until the infringing product is on the market. Now that Bosch's
saw is on the market, and SawStop has responded by filing suit,
the patent can be tested in court.

Understood. But has Sawstop Responded?




That can take years to resolve.

If the court thinks SawStop is likely to prevail, they can issue
an injunction to prevent Bosch from selling their saw until the
suit is resolved. That does not often happen, the infringement
has to be pretty blatent for the court to take action before trial.

Understood. I think Bosch will be fine, surely their attorneys would
have researched before giving the go ahead. Either way the method of
causing the blade to drop appears to be totally different. The drop is
a direct result of pistons firing. SS drops as a result of the force of
the blade coming to a sudden stop to trigger a release.

Every saw can drop a blade, you turn the elevation wheel so dropping the
blade below the surface is not a new thing. SawStop and Bosch have
determined a faster way to drop the blade.
