I hate patent assholes so much. Founded an aerospace carbon fiber printing company and got hit with lots of these, luckily I had enough funding to keep the lawyers fed.
For number 4, Here is Cam’s statement:
Hello Compass supporter,
I apologize for the delay in order updates, but for better or worse everything is now concluded. In summation, Compass has discontinued selling its Compass CNC V1 Kit to amicably resolve a dispute with Shaper Tools regarding allegations of patent infringement.
Your order will be canceled, with a full refund being issued to your original payment method. Please allow around two weeks for this to process.
I appreciate all your patience and support while resolving this. I am very sorry I can’t provide more positive news.
Best regards,
Cam
