Bambu Lab lawsuit update: It’s not over
Bambu Lab lawsuit update: It’s not over
New court documents surface in the ongoing dispute
If you're making me side with Bambu in a court hearing you must be a pretty shit company.
Honestly IDGAF about Bambu, but these patents are for technologies clearly used by other manufacturers as well. Stratasys is just picking on Bambu because Bambu is successful, and they're smelling a payout.
It is in the best interest of everyone in the hobby -- not just manufacturers -- that Stratasys loses.
I wasn't even aware of the lawsuit I live under a rock.
For any other rock dwellers: here's the background.
Stratasys, the company that invented FDM 3D printing, is currently suing China-based Bambu Lab for patent infringement in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The dispute is over ten U.S. patents covering technology now common place in desktop 3D printers, such as PEI coated build plates, purge towers and automatic bed leveling.
One other note, to my understanding (I am not American), the "U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas" is known for its corruption.
About 10 years old, but... https://www.techdirt.com/2015/08/18/why-patent-trolls-love-east-texas-why-congress-needs-to-fix-it/
Stratasys is suing there due to Bambu Lab having an office in Austin, TX
