Patent Claim Could Block Import of Toyota's Hybrid Cars

Posted by timothy on from the advancing-the-useful-arts-and-sciences dept.

JynxMe writes "Paice is a tiny Florida company that has patented a way to apply force to a car's wheels from an electric motor or internal combustion engine. Paice thinks that Toyota is infringing on its technology, and is going after the automaker in court. The legal spat became much more serious for Toyota this week, when the US International Trade Commission decided to investigate the matter. In the worst-case scenario for Toyota, the commission could ban the hybrid Camry, third-generation Prius, Lexus HS250h sedan and Lexus RX450h SUV."

    So you're a eugenistic prat, great. Fuck off, my ancestors may have blood on their hands by the gallon, at least they didn't run their turf like money was the sole vindication of their existence.
