[TowerTalk] STEPPER OF ITALY

[Pete Smith]

The reason I asked is that the motor housings looked very much like 
SteppIRs, and the whole concept of the tape with holes and stepper motor 
control struck me as unique enough that I'd thought SteppIR would have 
patented it.  On the other hand, that didn't stop the Finns from pirating 
Force 12 designs.

I'm just surprised, that's all - if I were doing business on that scale I 
think I'd want to be pretty sure I wasn't going to get sued, particularly 
in an EU country.

73, Pete N4ZR
