M.T.H. Responds To DCC Lawsuit Allegations

Gentlemen, <br /> <br />It seems to me that this is a one sided conversation. MTH has come on the forum to explain themselves. No one from any of the companies that have been affected by the "letter" last fall has presented their side of this. If you think about it, it would be unwise for them to comment publicly at all. With the exception of BLI, every one else is mum. <br /> <br />I am not going into details, but if you look at what has happened over the last year in DCC development, I think that you have to say the "letter" has had a negative impact. There have been delays, etc...The fact that MTH hasn't sued anyone is irrelevant, it is the <i>threat </i>of lawsuit that is the problem. <br /> <br /> <br /> [quote]QUOTE: M.T.H. is not claiming any patents on the concept of speed control using Back EMF as has been reported recently. Back EMF has been in existence for years and is not applicable to our technology.[/quote] <br />This is not what I am hearing. No one will speak on the record, but one company recently refused to use the words BEMF to describe their motor control that they were referring to as BEMF a year ago. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Others have commended MTH for coming on the forum and explaining themselves. I'm not so sure I agree with this sentiment. It is very easy to present your side when the other major players are silent. If the actions of MTH in the beginning had matched the words we see from them now, none of this would have been necessary. <br /> <br />Guy <br /> <br />
