Where did this company "threaten" to sue? All I can find is the following source
"Now, despite the country battling an unprecedented health crisis, there is potential for a legal battle with local media reporting that the manufacturers of the valves are refusing to share their blue print for further production and could potentially sue for copyright breaches."
So they may have the option to sue?
- capableweb 7y ago> However, when the pair asked the manufacturer of the valves for blueprints they could use to print replicas, the company declined and threatened to sue for patent infringement, according to Business Insider Italia. Fracassi and Ramaioli moved ahead anyway by measuring the valves and 3D printing three different versions of them.

- waiseristy 7y agoTranslate to the rescue! "having received a negative remarry - indeed they also received threats of complaint for patent infringement" Coming from Massimo Temporelli, so checks out
- duxup 7y ago"received a negative remarry" Wat?
- monktastic1 7y agoI don't speak Italian, but I think the issue is this: > risposata negativa "Risposata" is "remarry." Presumably they wanted "risposta," which is "response." Probably just a typo.
- Recursing 7y agoI speak Italian, can confirm
- kragen 7y ago"Response", not "remarry".
- imron 7y agoIt’s an automatic translation (put the original Italian in to google translate and that is what you get). I guess the parent post was to illustrate in a humorous manner the limitations of machine translation.
- monktastic1 7y agoSee my comment: the original text has a typo. The translation is correct.
- imron 7y agoDoesn't change my point though. A human translator almost certainly would have caught an error like this.
- davidw 7y ago> Lui e i suoi collaboratori si sono recati in ospedale a Chiari ieri mattina (venerdì, ndr) e dopo aver chiesto all’azienda produttrice i file 3D per stamparli e aver ricevuto risposata negativa – anzi hanno ricevuto anche minacce di denuncia per violazione brevetto Basically doesn't add anything - the company isn't named. It's a really nice story though, a bright spot in very dark times.
