    Ah but there’s the rub. The lack there of of proof and logic is the exact reason Stratasys brought the suit to the Eastern district court of Texas. This is the same court where patent trolls go to win their fairy tale suits based on antiquated and overly broad patents that they purchased from long defunct companies. In the Eastern district court of Texas it’s not what you can prove it’s who do you know. Also known as corruption.

      Truly amazing that the legal system in the rest of the US honors and enforces their edicts, or that anyone continues to do business within their jurisdiction, for that matter.

        The companies that want to sue all have shell offices and PO boxes in east Texas.

        It’s probably one of the main industries in some of the smaller towns. Tyler Texas I think maybe? It’s been a while since I first read about it.

          Yes, but if the companies being sued don’t do business in that jurisdiction, it falls on other jurisdictions to enforce that courts’ edicts. Anyone that does so is just enabling the corruption.

            I think Bambu would had to have never allowed sales or use of a printer in east Texas (a huge state).

            I’m now curious if EULAs or geofencing products to make using them in that district a violation of the license. As terrible as it would be, it could be useful in protecting businesses from patent trolls. Maybe even teach east Texas to stop giving the trolls a stage.
