I just read a post from GW Micro, and I suggest you read the blog post from Doug for yourself. There are to date 46 comments on this post, and I expect it to grow. I remember the other FS suit, and that was a little more questionable, but knowing According to this blogpost that GW is getting sued because of a product upgrade? Come on. We’ll hope that GW does not have to give up the hard work within this business. Competition is a good thing. I can agree that if there is a patent problem, companies should talk to each other, but seeing that GW did not get called, or anything before these filings, just goes to show that Freedom Scientific is doing this to try and get everyone out of business. Thats ashame because while I do not use any of their products much any more, trying to shut everyone else down is not the answer. You need to work with them. The blind access journal article entitled: Freedom Scientific Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against GW Micro may go in to more detail on what is going on, and has more information on the whole case. For GW Micro’s sake, I hope we can win at some level. We’ll definately keep you posted on the latest as soon as we get it across our desk.
