In this brief update, the speaker clarifies the present state of a legal dispute with Caterpillar. As of the recording, Caterpillar has filed a complaint in federal patent court alleging infringement of five of its patents and is seeking a cease‑and‑desist order to stop the defendant’s sales. However, the defendant has not yet been formally served with the complaint, meaning the lawsuit has only been partially initiated. The speaker emphasizes that the situation could evolve between recording and release, and notes that the lack of service is somewhat unusual, indicating that only half of the necessary legal steps have been completed.

I understand that there's been a lawsuit. Tell me more about that. To be very precise, as of today of the recording, this could change, right, by the time this gets released. But as of today, right now, Caterpillar has filed in federal patent court a complaint that we are infringing on 5 of the patents in their portfolio and are asking for, you know, basically a cease and desist, stop selling the stuff in federal court. So this has been filed federally. It's public knowledge. The second half of actually suing somebody that has not happened yet is you have to literally take the papers and serve your counterparty. We have not been served yet. That's a bit unusual. So I like to be precise, half of a loss, half of the actions necessary to be sued have been completed.
