Deja vu!!! Blocking patents--YES! Patented claims for which the claims have been designed-around--NO! I am suggesting the latter, not the former.
The I.H. patent was an improvement, not a blocking patent. If that patent succeeded, I.H. and all companies that use it would have to pay Rossi, as I said.
There is nothing easy about litigation, even if the facts are on your side. But, I generally agree that if it actually works, it will come out during the litigation/trial.
If these events transpired, Rossi would be world-famous. He could easily hire the best lawyers on earth, without even paying them upfront. He could win billions of dollars from I.H. and others who used the patents, not just hundreds of millions. It would be like taking candy from a baby.
