PhotoScribe Diamond Inscription Co. Wins Lawsuit Against Lazare Kaplan.
PhotoScribe Technologies Inc. and the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) won a patent infringement lawsuit filed against them by Lazare Kaplan International.
Following a two-week trial in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, a jury handed down a unanimous verdict on March 7 finding that the GIA and PhotoScribe did not infringe on any of the 10 patent claims asserted by Lazare Kaplan.
Laser inscription machine.
Lazare Kaplan first filed the suit against the GIA and PhotoScribe, a manufacturer of diamond laser-inscription equipment, in July 2007 and May 2006, respectively.
PhotoScribe President and Chief Executive Officer David Benderly said they were pleased with the jury's verdict.
"Since we were sued almost two years ago, PhotoScribe's position has always been that Lazare Kaplan's lawsuit is totally without merit," Benderly said in a media release. "Our position has now been validated, and we can focus our energy on selling our diamond laser-inscription equipment instead of defending against lawsuits.
New York-based PhotoScribe was established in 1998, and its technology is used in the fields of aerospace, biotech, medical, optical, ophthalmology, fiber optics, electronics, semi-conductors and micro electrical mechanical systems.
Should you laser inscribe your diamond? The cost is negligible and is actually a benefit to you as it provides an additional method to identify your stone, especially if it is a high clarity such as a Internally Flawless, VVS-1, VVS-2, or even a VS-1 that has a microscopic inclusion way off to the side and will be difficult to find once you have the diamond set into the ring.
In lower clarities, the inclusions are more readily visible and some will be located in areas that will not be covered by prongs or metal work and hence visible under a microscope or 10X loupe.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
