Steve Gass continues to make friends. I wonder if someone losing a finger will sue Gass for not allowing Bosch to sell here.

[DerbyDad03]

Wait a minute...there is hope.

The article states this:

"The decision of the ITC will now move to the United States Trade Represent ative (USTR), as delegated by the President, who must approve or disapprove the I TC?s final decision in sixty (60) days. The USTR rarely goes against the ITC, ha ving disapproved of the ITC?s determination once in nearly 30 years."

If the past few weeks are any indication, it may not be "business as usual" (minor pun intended) in Washington. Recent events seem to indicate that we can no longer let history be our guide.

[J. Clarke]

That would be wonderful.

Is there a shortage of Saw Stop saws here? Is the price of Saw Stop so prohibitive here that anyone who would have bought a Reaxx for the safety feature can't/won't buy a Saw Stop?

IOW, I don't see how anyone could sue the company that offers a comparable product to the banned one. If someone wants the technology, and a Saw Stop is available at roughly the same price, why would Gass be liable if someone chooses not to buy his product? How did Gass cause that finger to be lost?

[J. Clarke]

You can sue anybody for anything. Doesn't mean you'll win.

We just want something horrible to happen to Gass.

[DerbyDad03]

I'm offended by that answer. My attorney will be in touch with your attorney.

Expect a letter from Screwem Goode & Hart

After reading Gass' patents, I didn't see how anyone could get around them. They are *really* broad and without a *huge* pile of cash, Gass was in an unassailable position WRT patents.

I don't see how anyone can sue Gass. They could buy a SawStop.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Bosch is a smaller saw easily taken to the jobsite. Not so much for SawStop.

SawStop is a good product. Gass in more interested in making money than saving fingers or he would be selling his technology at reasonable prices so the world would be a safer place.

[J. Clarke]

And he would have happily greeted Bosch's alternative design instead of going after them with lawyers.

But he's a scum sucking bottom ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^^H^Hlawyer himself.

[DerbyDad03]

Really?

True, but not relevant (as a lawyer would say) to this particular lawsuit discussion.

[Leon]

Its just the absurdity if holding a grudge for a person that long.

[Leon]

Actually SawStop has a contractors job site saw and it is less expensive than the Bosch.

Who is more interested in making money in the above example? ;~)

[Leon]

ooohhhh you are sooo emotional LOL ROTHL

[Ed Pawlowski]

I was unaware of that model.

Relevance and 12 jurors are different things. If a big company is a bad guy, relevance, truth, and fact mean little.

[Leon]

Absolutely true but with the fact that SawStop is so successful, it is obvious that the vast majority will see SS as the good guy. There are only a handful of people with issues that don't seem to be able to let things go. Those type jurors would most likely be eliminated during jury selection.

[krw]

It *always* means the lawyers are going to get rich. It then comes down to who has the bigger pocket (don't forget, lawyers are paid for out of *profit*).

[krw]

Grudge? What's a gruge got to do with it? Once a scum-sucking lawyer, always a scum-sucking lawer. There is no statute of limitations on staying clear of bottom-feeding rent-seeking scum.

[woodchucker]

Speak for yourself. The man offered all the companies the licensing rights. none took him up on it.

I don't begrudge him. You do.. that's your problem.

His patent covers the method of detection too, which REAXX used. same as a gfci... I guess Gass was smart enough to cover that.

[woodchucker]

Wrong , sawstop makes a jobsite saw.

So you don't like the capitalistic system? He offered the license.. no one took it. He patented it like normal inventors do, now you don't like that. GET REAL
