I'm certainly not qualified to argue the legal merits of the case, but it
seems to me (as an observer who in reality knows nothing about it), that they
wouldn't be able to show any significant damages from the things that actually
seem to have merit... so they through all the other stuff in there.
They could maybe get in trouble with the FCC, but until that happens, it's
kind of hard to argue that it's harmed them. And if they argue that their sales
were hurt by copyright violations (or whatever it is they're trying to say), I
would think that's going to be tough to prove... Cambium could even argue that
their customer started buying UBNT CPE because they're cheaper than the Cambium
equivalent.

I guess when reading this, the thing that strikes me the most is how
inflated and exaggerative the language is. Typically it seems in legal
documents that overly exaggerative claims are done so for publicity. The
language in this filing seems to read more like National Enquirer and less like
an FCC findings summary. I would expect this to be less outlandish if they
really felt they had a strong case. Claiming a multi-party hacking conspiracy
(which is really what the complaint is claiming from what I can discern) is
going to be really tough to make stick. Claiming Cambium caused harm to their
business due to copyright violation would be a much better approach I would
think. But they seem to have taken the National Enquirer approach, usually
when you hear those kinds of things, they don’t go anywhere. It will be
interesting to see what happens.
As far as the FCC violation goes, they were more careful in their wording.
To my understanding, they basically said that hacking the firmware gives
someone the ability to violate FCC limits and doesn’t imply that they can prove
anyone actually did.
Could be they felt that they were compelled to file this case whether they
feel they can win or not…..
Smarter folks than me will sort it all out…. 😊

They named a forum user as a defendant...
" 126. In a post dated December 25, 2017, Defendant Dmitry—noted as an
“occasional contributor”—posted on a message board instructing a user on how to
use ePMP with Ubiquiti power supplies"
This whole thing feels like a big joke. Do we not own the hardware we're
purchasing?

Yeah, so they aren't actually suing the WISP because they were using it,
they're suing them because they're saying they helped market it.

How does UBNT know that the WISP in question is actually using the
product? Did they gain access to the carriers network to verify? With out them
knowing? Other than that it is all hearsay.

unless they manage to land a juror who has run cambium or ubnt

So much for being the winner by disruption... Yeah, you could
see this
coming. Dear Robert has a lot of expenses... I just replaced a
bunch
of legacy ubnt because of flat out chip failure. Old
electronics that
fail not because of exposure to discharges or stuff like that.
Just too
cheap run too hot...
