LOL i think the judge is going to say that they shouldeve acted on this earlier instead of waiting for everyoen to do it then pounce. seems corrupt to me

lawsuits can arise, yes, that is now accepted, but they should only be against who will STILL produce modular PSUs after given a warning that the Patent has taken affect, not catch everyone by surprise so they are all trapped into it

It's only a US patent, so other PSU makers can still make and sell globally elsewhere.
