Thread: SawStop vs Bosch ruling

    SawStop vs Bosch ruling

    http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/ne...awstop-patents

    "An administrative law judge has issued an initial ruling that Bosch’s new Reaxx safety saw infringes on SawStop patents. The ruling in a case before the U.S. International Trade Commission could potentially halt the importation and sale of Bosch’s new saw to the United States."

    I can't say I'm surprised. Stephen Gass is/was a Patent attorney as are some of his early partners. You can bet that he took great care in writing those patent claims.

    Though of course should Sawstop ultimately prevail you run the risk of having a saw that may not be supported...won't be able to get new brake cartridges...

    If Bosch lost wouldnt that mean that they just couldnt sell the Reaxx in America? If thats the case youd be able to get new cartridges Im sure from overseas resellers and via eBay.

    I don't care who wins. I will never buy anything that is connected with Stephen Gass. He hired lobbiests and paid 10s of thousands of dollars to try to get federal legislation passed that would remove my right to choose which kind of saw I buy. I will never support any company or individual that does that kind of thing.

    I get your reaction but if lobbying (or paying lobbyists) is out, we'll have to stop buying tobacco, sugar, corn, alcohol, prescription drugs, firearms, fossil fuels, the list goes on and on.

    No opinion but one thing to keep in mind: Sawstop cannot be sold in Europe, which is a huge market. Even if Bosch cannot be sold in the US, they still can sell in Canada and the rest of the world.

    I hate to appear as though I am living under a rock, but can you explain to me Eric what prohibits saw stop sales in Europe?

    Seriously. I love my PCS and sure am glad I bought. Such a nice saw.

    If Bosch ever develops a cabinet saw version, I might have to import one from Canada.
