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.

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.

yea, like they should have done for Palm and RIM. Rim stole the o/s from
the palms for the blackberrys and then only had to pay 10 million
because of the damage it would have done to RIM. That would have shut
all the Blackberry's down, and I'm sure the judge had a blackberry, and
didn't want to lose it.. I think it was about 2005 when that transpired.
