Capacitance sensing of contact is NOT a new technology - it is simple
and ancieant electrical knowledge. The judge who issued the ruling of
"patent violation" is too technically ignorant to be allowed to judge
anything.

That makes as much sense as the Patent Office giving a patent to
wheelbarrow design when someone designed a new type of dump handle for
the wheelbarrow - yes, they did that.

The judge and the SawStop attorneys should be found in contempt of the
Court of Common Sense and their sentence is 90 days sawing old oak
with a handsaw.

Sounds an awful lot like corporate payments twisting judicial opinion
to get forced purchase of a patented device with only one source.
