Roy, It didn't occur to me at the time, but in your post, I think you were alluding to patents in the laser industry, as well as the dye sub industry. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David,

Yes, if TOG is successful I think others would be encouraged to challenge frivolous patents. The lasering patents included, but several others I'd like to see challenged. Competition in any arena brings more creativity and therefore potential profit to any industry.

"Frivolous" patents are a different "animal" from Copyrights, but with reference to the renewed legal activities with the industry, I saw in current (Dec 05) EJ that Crown won a significant settlement from a competitor who duplicated their copyrighted designs.
Similarly, Mike Davis' editorial in the Nov issue of EJ, was on this very issue; I thought it was very well done.

TOG vs. Sawgrass

From a document dated Feb. 10, 2006.

(paraphrased)

Sawgrass Technologies' motion, requesting a change of venue, from Texas to South Carolina, fell flat.

Won't happen.

Here's an excerpt from TOG's recent post to DSSI: The Court will consider our claim construction for the Markman hearing in less than 180 days. The good news is that we are moving forward. The case is set for trial on October 15, 2007. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA
