@cosinaphile there are several different arguments, and many do not have a "because" between them.

One is that there is no material harm. ie. how much less did Red earn specifically from people...

@cosinaphile: USPTO rule on prior demontrations before filing for a patent

@Richard: beyond that, Nikon's main argument is that Red demonstrated and sold this technology more than a year before filing for the patent, rendering the patent invalid. And also that when...

It's not nuance and its not a muddy rule. It's a pretty core rule to patents and it has hard lines: if you publicly demonstrate or sell a product, you have only a 1 year grace period in order to...

@BackToNature1 it's not cherry picking which is applicable and which is not.

It's very simple: After publicly demonstrating or selling a product, the inventor only has 1 year to patent it; and if...

From what I read (of Nikon's full response), Nikon is not making engineering claims in their response.

Nikon's primary argument seems to be about the dates of patent filings relative to public...

@PhotoKhan: I disagree. Here's what should be published:
1. Red's allegations against Nikon in their lawsuit
2. Nikon's response to Red's allegations in their defense
3. (any notable news)
4. ...

Apple used a completely different defense than Nikon is using.

Look up Red va Jinni Tech, where Jinni Tech used an identical defense to Nikon's. That will probably be a better predictor.

Nikon's defense here is almost identical to that of a company called Jinni Tech, which was also sued by Red. So this is probably a better comparison than some of the other lawsuits that used a...

This was a prank by NikonRumors user broxibear. Here is the original post: (1) http://disq.us/p/2qrptud And anyone should easily be able to tell it's fake from the date ...

Not out yet (and might not be for a while) but might as well wait for it at this point. Or buy a used Z6 for now and sell it when the updates come out.

They are not.  I'm sure they're similar enough though. I'm not sure who uploaded them, but they are not identical to mine.

Apoarently, you aren't aware that the throw range is configurable and can be set as low as 90 degrees, which is half of your 180 degrees...

The 24-120mm F/4S has gotten this update and does not have an information panel.

@ZilverHaylide: the Z6 & Z7 definitely have the processing power, since linear focusing is less processor intensive than non-linear focusing. Linear focusing just needs the distance, while...

The lens firmware can be updated, but linear focusing can't be used on a gen 1 Z6/Z7. This feature requires a Z6ii, Z7ii, or Z9.

It's configurable in the camera body, in increments of 30-degrees. The minimum is 90 degrees, and the maximum you can select is 720...

Not quite. Red defended the patent against Apple...though Apple made a very specific argument that didn't hold up. This does not mean it's the only argument.
It is not clear if Red defended...

Nikon should take note of JinniMag's success against RED.

RED dropped a lawsuit against JinniMag (3 years into it, just before it was set to go to trial) when JinniMag produced evidence they...

From a usage perspective, ADL can be useful for scenes that have lots of bright lights and dark shadows all at once.  Think:  outside on a bright sunny day, where there are also lots of buildings ...
