Seems like they intend to make money on this one way or another... ZING!


EDIT:
To completely honest here: I don't care what happens here one way or another, business going after business is capitalism in my books, that's why lawyers make so much money.

I don't particularly care for Cobra, but I THINK you are part of a smear campaign.

I haven't seen you mention a peep about the suit Fleming has against Escort for infringing on his Patent for using GPS enabled detectors to lock out false sources. That suit was filed back in March of 2009 and looks like Escort is on the ropes.

As of this moment, it looks like the patent office has awarded the patent to Fleming.

Which is a continuation of his patent filed in 1999.

If Fleming wins, this suit against Cobra will be trivial as Escort has extended that lockout capability to the Cloud..........meaning it may also be construed as infringing on Mr. Fleming's patent. Just a thought.

[Radar Roy]

I was never aware of the Fleming suits, thanks for bringing them to my attention.

Not an attorney but would be interesting to see if Cobra had any licensing to the Fleming patent in this second suit.
However in the 1st judgement it is my understanding that part of the settlement was that Cobra would not use these same features in future detectors.
