They didn't lose the case - it was thrown out at first hearing for being meritless. Brompton was ordered to pay Dahon's legal fees - ouch!
Just because...Brompton did not go to court does not mean that what the plagiators do would be legal.
So you've called on Brompton to get legal and pay Dahon for the IP theft of the patented 45º folding handlepost?
