- DannyBee 8y agoNo. That is at best a question of damages, not infringement.
- sdhgaiojfsa 8y agoI think, for most people, the damages are all that matter. Whether you are theoretically infringing on something is not what you lose sleep at night over. It's whether you're going to be sued and lose a lot of money.

They certainly aren't all that matters legally, because damage awards aren't the obly remedy in patent cases, injunctive relief is available. > It's whether you're going to be sued While damages effect the risk that you will be sued, Tesla is in fact being sued here. > and lose a lot of money. Sure, but damages aren't the only costly outcome. In this case, an injunction that forces a non-infringing redesign would be expensive for Tesla even before considering any damage award.
