I cant tell if dash is trolling or just way to invested lol
Probably both
I hope mostly the former, less depressing that way
just make a mount and say your inspired by bandit
done deal
im trying to get a free h2d
Invested in what? An idiot who thinks he has a patent on something that has tons of prior art and is a derivative work? lol
He also claims he did research and development. Lol.
Only time will tell then I suppose huh
didn't that was how all this started? nobody had patents.. there was an issue of attribution, and had that just been resolved simply it would have been no issue
No need for time. It’s fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain there is no invention here.
Exactly
I mean you got real heated and @ed me specifically, wrote a treatise on your opinion, then claimed you were putting people ON NOTICE and that IT IS DONE.
seems pretty invested to me, but I'm not a lawyer so I might not be qualified to say with certaint haha
👀
thats it
Sorry should not have @ted you. Was responding to the patent threat.
thank you
I didn’t threaten nobody with a patent I just filed one 🤷♂️
Should @north ether be in fear of his life since you put him on notice? Such a threatening manner.
Wild.
whos sending C&D?
And since multiple folks over here had that issue the solution was posted. Tell them it’s prior art and go pound sand.
it's pretty normal to send a C&D to take down a copy of one's work that has no attribution
how much do lawyers cost to procced?
Your X1C examples have nothing to do with my design
What’s very strange is yet again this matter was settled. No one was saying anything until you came out of no where @fleet fiber
So who put you up to it
Move on we are done here
like I'll ask this nicely, legit question. is this a hobby?
you know you could go after slice. They actually attempted to extort DFM for many thousands of dollars because he was reselling dragon hotends. IMO the slice nonstructural heatbreak patent has plenty of prior art (wasn't awarded in europe despite applying)
Patents don’t work on designs. Patents protect ideas.
Or how did you obtain your knowledge of the situation?
No shit
Those toolhead adapters are prior art to the function you claim in a patent for cc1.
You don’t and won’t get a patent in light of the art.
I could have also done this as well since it violated the licence terms of the model he reproduced. But I didnt because I dont really care enough.
You don’t think I have a copyright
For my art?
so. IANAL
but you could potentially get a design patent. dont know if that would stand. Also wouldnt be very broad. but just an idea. I've seen some really fucking dumb design patents too.
I'm not defendng that as reasonable
Copyright on what? The CC1s mount copyright and the Bambus tool head design copyright?
was just a note
anyone like the new design
Design also has the same prior art issue.
Cc1 and Bambu ends are functional.
No design on those. What is ornamental about the rest?
If there is something ornamental yeah get a design patent.
of course, its just generally easier to get. would not cover function
I've seemed some really dumb claimed as ornamental
but its not really a useful patent to have. anway that was mainly an academic thought
Yeah you can. Apple vs Samsung was a design patent issue.
You can use it that way, but difficult to do so here for an adapter.
back to bacon's earlier question... why not take this energy somewhere it'll be appreciated like Slice suing people over heatbreak designs?
What is this slice suing people? I am unaware. Thank you.
Oh shit you will love this
back to business
bacon is that what you were talking about?
What is this?

a lot of the spicier stuff is in other severs, but basically they have a patent on non structural heatbreaks, they have been going after phaetus for years and just sued ankermake and ultimately settled. but they threaned DFH, and Vez for goliath, Basically if memory serves they are claiming anything that has anything rigid aside from the heatbreak tube going between hotside and coldside violates their IP. There has been prior devices that used that approach So quite broad and I'd argue nonobvious. revo is really only thing that skirts it in their mind because flexible. They also went on a rant about communists apparantly.
they have chilled out a bit after voron dropped support for slice hotends, but if they haddent they could theoretically be suing (and prob failing to sue) most companies like they did with ankermaker. Artillery, Qidi, creality, even products from small outfits they might imagine are violators like tricorn and Chube.
Today on christmas3dp, we're taking a look at the recent patent claim that the VzBot Goliath 3D Printing Hotend has been involved with. Slice Engineering, creator of the Mosquito hotend has patented a large amount of things about it, including their spacer technology. The VzBot Goliath apparently infringes this patent and was taken down by Slice...
lulz
no but I do find it funny lol
its the original elegoo cad for the carriage we got recently, but with an A1 mount surgically joined on
more frankensteined than anything
Will look into it. If a patent already issued it has to be a reexamination or PGR or IPR. The new patent office head is a business methods guy. He thinks anything issued should be respected.
Kinda because most of his patents got nixed in reviews.
I can imagine that would have that effect on people. this is the patent on the reprap htoend comparison page (https://reprap.org/wiki/Hot_End_Comparison) that look an aweful lot like prior art.
Will look into this this weekend. A reexamination request is possible and cheaper than an IPR. I can put that together reexamination request for free but someone will need to cough up the USPTO fees if they are threatened and file it. Will take a couple of months to draft it over the weekends.
Streamlined Request: A reduced fee (e.g., around $2,500-$3,000) for shorter requests (<= 40 pages).
tats a lot of mony
That’s the US government not me.
oh no I know that
Yeah. It is. If it’s up to me, I would do it for free. I will ask for someone to cover it if it’s a worthy enough cause. I can’t promise to cover that fee. Above my pay grade.
I mean i was mostly just pointing it out of as its rather interesting. I expect it will probably go nowhere.
slice has gone after enough people where IMO they are in a holding pattern with adverseries. The patent may or may not be slimed down in terms of claims if it was seriously pushed, but other companies dont want to get into that fight, and slice really doesn't want to loose any patent coverage. so they slap fight a bit in court and inevitably setle
probably was a bigger deal a few years ago
Yeah, a reexamination once triggered is on autopilot.
interesting
There is no possibility of settling it.
USPTO will take it apart if the art is good.
I've not been involved with any IP cases that have seen the inside of a courtroom- what are the grounds for triggering such an authomatic investigation
the slice cases settled quit early, I beleive even before parties made specific claims on what in granular detail was infringed
Reexamination requests do that. It’s at the USPTO. You have to go claim
By claim, and point out where each element is present in the prior art.
ah that would make sense- I may be wrong but I beleive the cases settled prior to that stage exactly after several continuances
Then a set of three examiners will evaluate whether art presented raises a substantial new question of patentability that was not before the original examiner. If yes they will start the process.
Mostly that’s an enquiry about if the examiner saw the same prior art. If no there is a 90 percent probability that it will be reexamined.
The reexamination itself is ordered within three months.
a whole law news website got founded over it
Once that happens you can usually get a stay on patent infringement cases at the district court.
If any significant sum of money is involved usually period an IPR.
ah yeah fell apart well before claim construction breifs https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/50478529/Fantasia_Trading_LLC_v_Slice_Engineering_LLC
and slashdot hasn't been relevant since it all finally ended LOL
I would absolutely beleive that
IPR lets you respond to what the patent owner claims. But is half a million or more in attorney time.
thats the thing that was really funny, by the time the lawsuit settled the printer slice sued over was already largely out of the picture organically
That is ruinous on both sides.
scorched earth
sonds like a good time if you have unlimited legal resources
Na IPR is super hot. Mostly because of trolls.
Imagine one side has nothing to lose. It’s a paper LLC.
should have qualified, avoided by legitimate entities
The other side is Samsung or Google.
You don’t want to pay millions in a settlement or at trial.
yep I am well familiar with this legal chicanery
I've followed such cases closely in the past
Texas is notorious for this. The citizens of Taylor Texas get ice skating rings and what not but by Samsung out of it.
the most recent case I kept a close eye on was oracle v google
The only indoor skating rink in Texas.
the judge in that case to his credit actually learned basic java so that he could better understand the details
It’s only going to get worse. The current USPTO guy is so pro patents he has denied most IPRs in the past year. That means bigger judgments in Texas.
hang in there my southern brothers, hopefully we all make it out of the next few years of madness and things can go back to normal(ish)
He has this insane theory called settled expectations. After a year of a patent grant he says there is a settled expectation that the patent is valid. Made it up.
So he will not follow what the congress write is the law on IPRs …
Earlier we had checks and balances. Now it’s like judges have stopped being that balance if it comes from their party….
Insane. Though this settle expectations is likely to end up in the Supreme Court. I don’t really have high hopes from the 7 or 9.
so is this like the soveirgn citizen equivelent of patent law, just like magical thinking?
and convience?
Yep. The number of issued patents makes it impossible to challenge any patent even if you know about it.
Most of the time you’d don’t know about it.
What are you going to do spend $14000 on each patent and millions in attorneys fees ?
Just made it up without any authority from congress to undermine an act of congress.
This act took years to put in place and bipartisan support.
not surprised really. and of course while it will be sold as benefiting inventors generally it will only be leveraged by those with resources and existing patent moats. great
This favors only trolls. Will absolutely hurt all the big guys. They can’t wait to get rid of the people behind it.
All the money will go the other way next election cycle.
Trolls today are mostly the saudis and other rich folks. They engage in what’s called litigation funding.
They fund patent litigation in return for a percentage of the spoils. Usual funding for litigation is $5 to $8 million…
If that’s the funding imagine the return on investment to justify that funding…
In 2000nds you had Gillette suing Shick and what not. Those kind of cases are extremely rare now.
It’s mostly non operational companies suing an operating company.
lol. Visa denied. Next.
ah yes, I lost a consulting gig when the company got acquired and the new owner chose to fire almost everyone, clean out invenory, and turn it into a zombie entitity for patent trolling purposes. real sad state they went out of their way to kill a very recoverable company
It's getting real deep in here.... Don't make me click the button 🤣
which one- lock post or unfollow lol. (tbh wouldnt blame you either way)
Close or lock. Either one would do
Close close close …
No one is filing a legit patent for screw hole dimensions... once Bandit gets that through his head.... the better off the community will be
He has not disengageed.. there is continuous ongoing harassment from Bandit and his wife on various social media platforms...
Show me where I am harassing people? I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around
Also I’m done responding to people that aren’t directly involved with what is going on
I think we should all just get along
personally I haven't seen anything but I've also not particularly been following social media events the past couple weeks.
If by legit you mean non-provisional then yes I would agree with that (and I never claimed otherwise). but anyone can file a nonprovisional and it would probably be rubber stamped.
but we should probably stop discussing this
this horse has been beat dead into the ground multiple times over, I think it's time to let it go
Alright folks, this has gotten ridiculous. I'm closing this thread and will probably work with the rest of the admins about documenting the valuable information and trashing the rest. Happy Holidays
