Thanks for lifting my spirits with your nice " rant" Lovely to read, especially the "Laserverld" thing...still giggling about that
As far as I know, no other Dutch laser company has been hit with these weird claims, no German, Belgian, French or any other country for that matter ( afaik ).
It seems that I was " hand picked" to receive this " bonus".
Even though this is a nuisance and then some....I do kinda feel special. Apparently the big boys ( Arctos and their customer Kvant ) feel that the systems I am selling in The Netherlands are of such quality that they feel they are a threat to theirs. So I must be doing some things right ...don't you agree ??
As it is, i do not think " laserverld" has anything to do with this.
My guess is my post in Laserist on FB , comparing our FD3040 with the Kvant ClubMax3000 during the Dutch LEM triggered some people to start some investigations.
It was a harmless compare that was meant more as a joke then anything else, yet there was an undertone in it that stated that only the expert-laserist could see the difference, the general public can and probably will not see the difference. So it was all done with a smile.
Nice fact by the way: The owner of the Kvant which was used for that comparison photo is now looking to sell his Kvant and want's two of mine....how's that for laughs.
As for the letters and such. The first sign of trouble was some lawyer firm from Germany which was suddenly visiting my LinkedIN account very often. That felt odd and I tried to find out why but did not get any clear sign of how and what that until their first email arrived with the various statements they made.
In short it stated that they believe I am in violation of patent laws and the showed their patent. I have read this thing over and over and it's full of holes. I am not going to diverge what holes there are in the patent as the " enemy " may be lurking around the corner, but there are things in the patent which can never ever belong to the patent or any patent whatsoever.
So now I am working on my last and formal letter to this lawyer. I will read it back, and again, and again...until I am full satisfied that I have hooked every " nut and cranny" and will of course start to say that the letter is no confirmation of guilt in any way or form, but merely a respons to the allegations.
Thanks to all for now and then for lending me your brain farts to solve this idiotic situation.
