Ultra Products filed a suit against almost all the PSU makers out there like Antec, Channel Well, Corsair, Enhance, E-Power, SPI, FSP, Koolance, Mushkin, OCZ , Sea Sonic, Silverstone, Spire-Bytecom Fanner, Tagan, Thermaltake, Topower and Zalman. Apparently, the case is on modular power supplies. We have contacted some of the PSU makers and seems like they are unfazed by the impending law suit. One PSU maker told us that Ultra Products has been talking about it for some time now and finally put it in action this month. Too bad they couldn't do it on April Fool Day and i would probably just sit back and laugh for a while. The other PSU maker think they don't have a case here. Read More >>

Carl Fiorentino, the Tiger Direct Kingpin, filed for this patent in Feb 2005, and it was granted to him on Dec 2007. His patent attorney has had over 3 months to develop their infringement case. This is a broad patent, offering far reaching protection on the new concept of a detachable power distribution system internal to a PC chassis. No patent atty would pursue this, if it was not a goldmine!
