Hello MH: Do you recall a similar pronouncement made in June 2004 when HOOVER intro'ed the FUSION at Wal*mart after the fall out over the DC07 All Carpets? I believe the exact words of the poster were: "A big legal action by dyson all wrapped up in a big red bow." Then the alleged infringements were for dyson's bagless bin components and cyclone technology, if I recall. Nothing ever happened over the matter despite repeated mention by the poster. And the HOOVER FUSION went on to have a long run at WM and Sam's Club and still today as the Mach. Is this the same? Another wolf cry with no wolf anywhere around to be seen. BTW, from what University/College did you get your law degree? Carmine D. The Fusion lasted less than 3 years and you call that a long run, yet you have contended for years that Dyson would falter, Does anyone else find this amusing? LOL>

Hello DIB:
Thanks. That was about one year after the FUSION was launched at Wal*Mart. But filing a lawsuit is very common in the USA which is the most litigious society in the world. Why? Because we have the most number of lawyers per person. What was the outcome of the suit? Would you share here with us? Carmine D.

Terms of the settlement were confidential

Hello Hardsell:
Trade magazine? Gag order on settlement? No, I don't think so. You must be confused. Very public and widely known and talked about on other Forums. It amounted to a big zip for dyson and HOOVER all around. BTW, the FUSION is a sourced vacuum. Made for HOOVER, not by HOOVER. Carmine D.
