This is what I know from the article.
ESU, LLC is located in central Minnesota.
We have been promoting the product line for the past two and a half years through the internet. We are well acquainted with what you are looking for to enhance your layout and we know this product line is your answer. With the LokSound and LokPilot product lines, “You’ll swear you’re there!”
Guess I'll have to get my granddaughters to come over and make "choo choo" noises until the model railroading sound gurus stop suing each other.

I may be wrong, but last time I checked a lawyer cannot sue on behalf of anyone unless the lawyer has been directed to by his or her client.
you need to check again. Lawyers write the laws, make them, judge on them, and fight over them and take most of the settlement $$$ themself.
This hobby is going to end soon if lawyers dont stop running it by the courtroom instead of the train room.

It's an interesting development. I don't ever remember any model manufacturer suing or being sued until recently. It seems that there have been several lawsuits the last couple of years (i.e. MTH, UP suing manufacturers, etc).

I can say for sure that thanks to a good friend, I heard a Lok Sound equipped HO locomotive up close and personal. All I could say was "Wow!' I am looking forward to seeing more products from this company. Installed with the correct speakers and baffling, IMHO, Lok Sound decoders give Soundtraxx and QSI some much needed, high quality competition!
As for this lawsuit, guys I still think we don't have to "sweat it" so hard. I doubt that is ESU should lose it not will go under. Especially now that sales and product popularity are up. As I stated on another thread, Soundtraxx has some very serious competition with this company.
As for comparison to the MTH vs. QSI lawsuit? AW, PU-LEASE!!!!! That really is a bit of a joke. Regardless of the intent and statements to the contrary, the DCC community was impacted. Or were the owners of Tony's Trains, Litchfield Station, Soundtraxx, and Digitrax hallucinating when they commented on the impact back in 2004?????
