> Litepanels may ban all LED lights from the market .. all LED lights used for film/video/photography, not for home lighting, electronics, etc. etc. Still bad

> Litepanels may ban all LED lights from the market .. all LED lights used for film/video/photography, not for home lighting, electronics, etc. etc. Still bad, but title should be changed. More on topic: No need to weaken the argument by listing all the components of the "invention" that Litepanels didn't come up with themselves. We all stand on the shoulders of giants; the important question is whether your particular combination/improvement of existing things is novel and non-obvious. This clearly violates the non-obvious clause.

Here's one of the patents in question: http://www.google.com/patents/US7972022 http://www.google.com/patents/US7972022 Devices infringing on claims 1 and 57-60 are essentially "LED lights, on a stand, hooked up to a camera, with a couple dials for color temperature and brightness." Yikes.
