I mean, beyond this specific issue, it does seem they were infringing on the patent, so he has a right to sue to stop it being sold or get royalties from new and previous sales.

I think this tech should be mandatory in all saws, but I also think that one company shouldn't have control over the licensing and it probably shouldn't be something companies have to pay for.

If it's mandatory, the licensing should be both compulsory and FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-descrimatory).

I'd be happy if my saw had the tech.
