“Red is informed and believes and thereupon alleges that the sale of Sony’s unauthorized, infringing cameras has resulted in lost sales, reduced the business and profit of Red, and greatly injured the general reputation of Red.”

my guess is RED is just looking for a hand out, they might be struggling financially right now

RED claimed, on the day of sony's announcements, that the f5/f55 were not going to do anything to them and that they were better off than ever.

They also massively dropped prices and claimed they were not related to the Sony cams.

Well obviously their thought changed. I am confused why everyone is up in arms when someone tries to defend their patents.

Red is a great company…as interested in the little guy as they are the big guns. They are also true pioneers in the digital age. If there is merit to the claims, good luckk Red.

Its more humorous than anything, jannard was very very confident about their cams even with competition, and now suddenly is all mad about it. From what i've seen, he's very stubborn and cocky.

You guys are top notch at making assumptions.  Have any of you read the patents that RED is claiming Sony infringed upon?  I don't have the time to but until you know all the details you should refrain from making judgments.
