Why stop at importation into the US? Why not stop them from production of anything using the technology?
IF she does in fact own the patent to this technology why allow it to continue ANYWHERE? If she does in fact own the patent then I hope she wins BIG!

if she has patent rights to the blue laser diode then all of these named electronics companies- and probably some not named- will have to pony up for using the technology. if i was a patent owner i would make sure the patent laws are enforced or else no one would bother to invent anything. i’m sure the big companies would rather run roughshod over every patent holder but that is the purpose of the patents.

I believe the Also see: link to The Pirate bBy points to the wrong URL. It currently points to Time.com about leaked pages in the last Harry Potter book?

lol
I think Sony and several others in the list are going pissing their pants right now.
If they are infringing the patent and if she doesn’t want the buy out basically they are screwed and will have to reinvent blueray.
Maybe this is why the XBox doesn’t have an internal HD-DVD player.
Microsoft (for once) didn’t want to get sued

I’d like to see this patent, are patents readily viewable online? If so, it should be linked with this story so we can make our own assessment. This would be pretty big news if she can prove her case.
