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.

I believe the exact words of the poster were: "A big legal action by dyson all wrapped up in a big red bow." Nothing ever happened over the matter despite repeated mention by the poster.
Carmine, Dyson v. Maytag, did it happen? Yes. - Lawsuit filed on 6/5/05
- Jury trial demanded.
- Dyson claims 4 of its patents were infringed by Hoover (Walmart/Fusion)
- Patent’s: 4643748, 4826515, 4853008, 5858038
DIB Interesting contrast between these two posts. From Carmine's post it doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine who the implied poster was. See, as always, "that poster" was right!

DIB:
The case was dismissed and no jury heard it. Why? A change in the patent and copy right laws making it more difficult for the aggrieved parties to prevail and win on copy right and patent infringements in the USA courts. Nothing happened. Zip. Thrown out. Carmine D.
