You should have kept selling Nucore despite the threats. You could have had a strong fair use defense.

Quoted from chessiv:An additional point, both Gene and Wayne (at the time) held patents that covered the technology (projecting an image on pinball glass.) So the licensing wasn't just for the ROMs. If we didn't pay licensing fees Nucore wouldn't have happened. Don and I weren't comfortable releasing Nucore and possibly violating patents. We wanted to make sure Nucore was completely legal.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nucore just the board and software? What device were you selling that projected images on pinball glass? Why did you think you had any patent issues at all?
