I wonder if the founder of Lexmark started the company with the big idea, "Hey, let's apply the razor/blade business model to printers!" If so, then "abandoning the approach" is impossible, and the approach will only be abandoned with company failure. And you know, I have to say it: it's unethical, immoral, but it's not illegal to have a nefarious business plan, and I'm glad. To me, the larger issue is that the justice system has itself become a weapon to punish competitors, particularly through the use of IP claims. Punishment occurs long before conviction, when the cost of defending yourself can mean a significant and ongoing expense. A justice system that ignores reality, including economic reality, cannot be just.
