Paul,

Thank you for the added insight.

It will be interesting to see if TOG's change of venue (from So. Carolina to Texas) gives them an edge.

I know, that at the time of your case, you weren't able to get much (if any) financial help from the other (patent-infringing) sublimation ink suppliers of the day, in going up against Sawgrass.

From what you're saying, their ($) assistance wouldn't have had a substantive affect on the outcome of the case.

If Epson does get involved in the TOG vs Sawgrass matter, wouldn't their showing favoritism toward Sawgrass be seen as restraint of trade; as Steve alluded to, earlier in this thread?

After all, if the Sawgrass patents get shot down, despite the difference in size and market share, between the two companies, they're both in the same business.

If that were the case David I think the choice would be clear for Epson who the market leader was in this sector of the market and I would imgine the fees involved would put most companies out of the frame but like I said 'if that were the case'

Your theory that Epson would license their patents to others I feel is clutching at straws a little. Take HP, as far as I am aware they defend their patents with a passion on the cartridges (which have the print heads on them) and I don't know of anywhere where you can buy a replica HP cartridge other than the complete rip offs from China (please correct me if I am wrong on this) and I dont see any reason why Epson would not follow the same business model. Also make note Epson don't sell sublimation inks so this does not affect their sales of regualr inks.

A little late to the party am I.

Paul, I have an HP DJ130 printer. Its a 24" wide format inkjet printer. It comes with user replaceable print heads, they're not part of the ink carts. Maybe this is the wave of the future and a way around such matters.

PS: This is HulaMike btw. I had to reregister with a new name since the last time I visited here.

Mike,

Better late, than never. Thanks for contributing to the thread. Good question/theory.

BTW, feel free to run off as many of our members as you can.

Sorry folks! It's an inside joke. :-)

I have two HP printers an older 952 and an Officejet 7140xi. On the 952 the ink has the print head, on the 7140 they are separate cartridges. I always assumed it separated them because it's a bigger more robust unit rated for higher use. (I guess it also generates more income for HP for sale of disposables.) All in one is more compact and fewer pieces/simpler manufacture.

OK, I owe Steve malasadas. I'll send some off next week, right along with the #3 submission of your SW CD Steve :-$ 

Mick, you're the dilusional one if you think the Buffs are up to beating the Shuskers next Fall. Got any players left after the sex scandals? I guess I should compliment the Golden Buffs on their choice of infraction. I'd rather see a bunch of 19 year olds fighting over PT than some other silly thing. So lets go Wild Game (yuck) vrs Fresh Opah this season. 5# each?

Gred!

Mike,

By definition, if there's a sex scandal, surely "players" had to be involved. B-) 

BTW, I took the liberty of replacing your text (blush) in your previous post, with an actual blush.

Hope you don't mind. :-$

Are you inferring that it may have been the coach and staff or school administration that perpetrated the "crime" ? (devil)

Steve,

Player, in the sense of someone who "gets around.".

I feel i will not have to worry about parting with 5# of Elk steaks. I heard the Huskers players were jealous that they weren't allowed the freedom that the Buffs had. Another advantage for us, Nebraska will refuse to bring their cheerleaders, looking out for their well-being.

Signed
