Companies use technology all the time without permission. This would not be a horrible tragedy; it would be an economic windfall for a bunch of lawyers. There would be negotiations and possibly trials. Eventually Defkalion would pay Rossi a large sum of money, the way they originally intended to do. In situations like this, sales continue normally while the lawyers battled it out. People buying the equipment would never know there is a legal battle going on unless they read the business section of the newspapers. All important technology always escapes from the inventor. That is why we have patents. If there is a problem here, it is because either the Patent Office has failed to do their job, or Rossi has not submitted a properly written patent. His previous patents looked invalid to me. - Jed
