Pretty much sums it up. Looks like Home Safe has cornered the IR market. Like to hear how other’s feel they can get around this.
Any one putting up odds when HomeSafe will start the first suit ?
$ 50.00 says 10 Years…:mrgreen:

I’ll double your bet and say probably about two years from now or less.
I do not know how it could seeing this has been out for years. I used a camera 20 years ago the one that weighed about 15 lbs it was large took 2 men and boy to carry it.
The folks at HomeSafe won’t sue anyone successfully for any meaningful amount of money.
-They didn’t invent Delta-T
-They didn’t invent the difference between between interior and exterior temperatures, the ability to measure it, or the ability to manipulate it
-They didn’t invent any technology related to IR other than a protocol for using it.
-each element of their protocol was likely invented by someone else
Given these facts, a suit needs to meet one very specific requirement in order to grow legs…the plaintiff needs to be able to show the court that some person or entity caused them to suffer a loss.
In that light, it’s unlikely that HomeSafe could build even a weak case unless the defendant was a direct competitor in their market. Anyone with even half a brain could make the HS folks look like idiots in front of a Judge.
If they can’t prove a loss…it doesn’t matter what else they can prove.
The whole patent thing is a joke. Don’t let it discourage you from starting an IR program. You have nothing to worry about.
