As I said before, I want to see which jury will convict them for counterfeiting!

The manufacturer may threaten, huff and puff, but juries are filled with human, who will feel same same wrongness we do.

In theory, everybody cares about FDA certification and all the legal details like HIPPA and stuff.

In practice, when SHTF ie in a situation like 9/11, most humans beings seem to do the best they can with what they have.

No one should refuse to act just by fear of being sued for doing something, when inaction will guarantee the death of other human beings.

I'm not familiar with the Italian legal system, but I would be surprised if a patent dispute goes before a jury.

Italian criminal courts implement bench trial, not jury trial.
