[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 115105, member: 126"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Yes that is my belief. I can not dispute that you won in court. This is pretty esoteric, but in my analysis your version is an improvement over mime, where the means to accomplish the LED indication were re-ordered such that you use one hold capacitor instead of a hold capacitor for each bandpass. This saves about a $1 cost per unit so is an actual improvement over mine (cheaper), but is not a completely different circuit. Apparently different enough for the USPTO to award a patent, but that does not mean it is not still covered by my patent. However the court case that you won sure does. :-( I will not whine further about lawyers and judges or even expert witnesses' meager grasp of discrete circuit design I know what I know ( I think). I spoke to Peavey's "expert" witness on a conference call (an EE PHD) and I was not impressed. I can just imagine the actual courtroom exchanges. Are you suggesting my FLS invention is invalid, or are you referring to some other lawsuit? I have not been following your other legal skirmishes with Peavey. I do not have any pecuniary interest in the FLS patent, it was work for hire years ago. I was paid to submit an affidavit for the lawsuit, but was not privy to any of the arguments in court. I left Peavey over 10 years ago and do not follow their legal battles that don't also involve my previous work. Well there you go... they should roast in hell (allegedly). Not to harp on this but I find it hard to believe you (your engineers) spontaneously came up with your version of FLS in a vacuum. You engineered an apparently legal copy after seeing the success of my version in the marketplace. Congratulations for winning the legal skirmish, it does not change my view of this case or history. I guess there can be a difference between being legal and being right. Good luck, and keep trying to be the first in the market like your x32 was. Nobody can accuse you of copying that. JR PS Again I apologize for this veer... not my favorite subject. [/QUOTE]
