A principled inventor would not accept a penny in damages in exchange for the other company to continue selling the products. A principled inventor would demand that the other company re-call their products, and be forced to STOP SELLING THEM.
If I was an injured inventor, I would want sales to stop immediately. I would want them to stop so I could sell the products from my company, or from officially licensed parties. The lure of a hundred billion dollars would not be enough to make me sacrifice my principles. If Rossi has had his technology stolen or has his technology stolen in the future (I do not know if it has happened or will happen) then I hope he does not receive the Noble Prize, or any payments from those who have copied his technology. I would hope for one thing, that the companies who have copied his technology are forced to recall any products they have sold, and stop selling any more. If I was an inventor who had my tech stolen by Microsoft or Apple, I would demand the same thing. Even if it meant every single iPAD or iPhone that used my technology being taken off the market. If it bankrupts the other company having to pay back all their customers, so be it. ________________________________ From: OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson <svj.orionwo...@gmail.com> To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 10:08 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Test day in Greece time From Jed, > noone noone wrote: > >> >> Possibility #2 -- A copy cat of Rossi's technology, using his intellectual >> property without permission.

Meanwhile, it's business as usual. Or as Trump would say, it's just business. Meanwhile, nobody wants sales to stop. Cessation of sales would translate to no more money that could be awarded to the injured party! If DGT ends up whipping Rossi's ass, hopefully the inventor will end up with a reasonably satisfactory out-of-court consolation prize. ...A reasonable sum, perhaps amounting to several hundred million Euros - for pain and suffering. We'll see. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
