And since they are suing, people can't buy Bosch's technology, and probably a lot less saw-stoppers are installed. Also, it seems the SawStop version is destructive, as opposed to Bosch's. That means you have an expense every time it fires. So this lawsuit is causing a lot of lost fingers, and some lost money. It would be really funny (although unrealistic) if somebody could be held responsible for all damages caused by the lawsuit.

You have an expense with the Bosch system - you have to replace the explosive cartridges.

  Bosch system is cheaper in comparison: You have to replace the cartridges (~$156) which can fire twice (so 78 per activation). With SawStop you have to buy both the break ($69) and the saw (15-100? depends on the saw). Prices taken from amazon.com (so I don't know how realistic they are, the cartridge may actually be much cheaper, I don't know where to look at the official price)
