Medical company threatens to sue volunteers that 3D-printed valves for coronavirus treatments

I don't know, this is changing people's outlook on how we need to cooperate and cwithcare for people. If this doesn't make you want to hang the robber barons what will?

It had to have hurt to type this, you should lie down and rest.

Deal with it, that's capitalism. Don't like it? Maybe (you) should move to china lmao.

fucking lazy slacker zoomer neets sit on their asses and use machines instead of pulling up their bootstraps and doing things the real way with their hands fucking communist parasites ruining the economy.
prison is too kind for this degenerates.
fucking communists.

Stfu faggot

sociopath

Tell me the true sell value of these shits is 100 dollars or so.

Bet this is just a scummy advert for some 3D printing company.

What is capitalism ?
Patents ?
That's goverment control you imbecil

Look at the company its a fucking joke
extremetech.com/extreme/307741-patent-troll-sues-to-pull-covid-19-tests-off-market-over-alleged-infringement

Just to make sure. Usually ONE plastic valve costs 11,000 THOUSAND dollars?
what the fuck is going on here?

> "we are not going to spread the drawing.”
Pussies. Upload that shit far and wide, torrents, physibles, etc. Send it to the fucking moon and back, the patent holder can't go after everyone that prints one, the legal fees and time wasted would bury them. Besides, only a matter of time until the chinks reverse engineer it themselves and crank them out for 3 cents each.

The company should be designated as a terrorist organization and taken over.

Heyyyy nice copy pasta

Larping shill shareblue cunt.

be cautious and self aware corporations. sick people are no different than starving people. if you give them a good reason and they’ve had enough of your shit, they’re prone to tear you limb from limb and burn everything you have to the ground.

STEALING intellectual property is not capitalism, it's just stealing.

Is this you, schlomo?

Post nose

>spend 10s of millions of investors hard earned money on R&D
>design the perfect value
>spend even more money testing it
>set up production line
>two basedboys copy your design and 3d print it
Of course you would be mad

>human life is not as valuable as MUH PRINCIPLES.
Never change ameri-tards.

So is anyone gonna post a link so i can print them myself orrr

Intellectual property doesn't exist in capitalism.

moshe is right

copy&improve then make it more accessible, that's how technology works

>spend 1 month on improving your old valve design that an intern made 10 years ago.
>send it to medical testing
>set up production line
> sell your garbage at inflated costs for massive profits
> run out of product to sell
>two basedboys copy your design and 3d print it

>10s of millions
>on a design that can be 3D-printed

Yeah right...

Based and WTOpilled

>Muh IP laws.
If you can't supply the market with your patented products then you deserve to lose all the protection afforded by the law.

except the sole purpose of this is to save human lives that would otherwise have no alternative

how much of a dollar value would you assign to that?

Good effort but the valves are useless without oxygen canisters and ventilators and hospitals don't have nearly enough of those to cope when the peak comes.

Uh
Thats my job
I do this in the us 3 years running

Who gives a shit if they're mad or not? They can't keep up with the demand, so the market will find someone who can. They're literally throwing a temper tantrum because they can no longer make a killing from people literally being killed because their valves are so fucking expensive

BASED.

No right to be mad when your unable to supply the finished product

These guys didn't test what they produced. There are strict procedures in place for medical equipment testing and they were bypassed. Absolutely disgraceful that these 3d printed valves were used on real patients.

Not gonna lie, what they did is almost like another shoah.

I understand that one should benefit from one's own work. However, IP law is probably a filter that keeps us from achieving a kardashev level 1 society.

>Labrador Diagnostics
They are patent trolls. They had nothing to do with the development of these products my dude.

>real patients
They are just doing stage 2 animal trials it looks like to me

> Disgraceful
> Saves probably hundreds if not thousands of lives

Get fucked moron

It's called the free market you utter cunt.

>We can't try to save your life using this thing we have, because we did not test it enough and it could kill you.
I recognize the britbong mentality here

They could have ordered from the actual supplier and you know... followed the law? Instead they didn't want to pay and stole their IP.

>I understand that one should benefit from one's own work. However, IP law is probably a filter that keeps us from achieving a kardashev level 1 society.
Not to mention that 90% of IPs aren't held by anyone ideologically genetically or otherwise related nvm identical with who created it.

It's slavery for whites and Asians and needs to be strictly opposed.

'steal proprietary information'
They printed a plastic tube dude
Does the company OWN that shape of tube?
Stupid

Maybe over in the UK but here in the US medical equipment often gets no testing bc it is similar to other already existing medical equipment. There are thousands of ppl in US that got cobalt poisoning from shitty hip replacements bc there was no testing on the new design. My fucking grandmother died from this shit. Fuck IP. Fuck Crapitalism.

Nevermind retard. Trump will sort these guys out. Going to laugh when these thieves are in jail.

They must love you at parties.

>Imagine me just walking into a business and 3-D printing objects in the business to sell at a massively discounted rate...
You forgot the part where people in need of this are dying.
It's illegal, but they will be fine in the end.

Oh so you don't deserve to be paid for your work, ok...

They COULDNT GET them from the 'actual supplier', the supplier COUD NOT SUPPLY them
