B&W Offers Special 801 Limited Edition Abbey Road Speakers

June 18, 2025 by Ted Leave a Comment

New B&W 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition speakers by Bowers & Wilkins

If you are a fan of premium loudspeaker maker Bowers & Wilkins (B&W), you are likely familiar with the fact that Abbey Road Studios – the famous London, England recording studio that was the studio of choice for mega groups like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Oasis, Lady Gaga, and many, many others – utilizes B&W models as monitor speakers for its recording engineers. Some of the most famous music singles and albums were tracked and mixed on 801s, offering superior sound quality and providing engineers and producers with a more accurate sound to produce a better end product…the music that you and I listen to every day.

This “enduring and influential collaboration” has existed for 45 years, and to honor this unique history, B&W has introduced a limited edition model of its top-of-the-line speakers, the 801 Abbey Road Limited Edition Loudspeaker.

In what has been one of the longest-running patent infringement cases I have ever reported on, GeigTech East Bay LLC vs. Lutron Electronics Co. Inc. finally wrapped up last week in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York before the Honorable Judge Colleen McMahon who delivered a blistering Final Decision and Order full of fire and brimstone…for both parties. Know that as you read this report, you are reading about a case originally filed on June 12, 2018…that’s right, seven years ago!

Says Judge McMahon: “After two trials and many opinions over the past seven years, the Court assumed familiarity with the facts and major players involved in this case.” And you know what they say about familiarity – familiarity breeds contempt!

See the many surprising facts Judge McMahon’s Decision and Order reveals

As I write this, it is exactly one month to the day since I was involved in an accident that ended with me in the hospital for three days. That was a frightening wake-up call that resulted in my medical team shifting into high gear and conducting all sorts of assessments, diagnoses…and, recommendations for an effective recuperation process. What is a primary recuperation technique? Read on…

‘Legendary’ Judge Alsup Featured in Strata-gee May Go ‘Inactive’ in 2025

May 29, 2025 by Ted Leave a Comment

Judge Alsup in his chambers

Featured in Sonos v. Google Patent Dispute

Law360, a legal newsletter, reported on Tuesday that U.S. District Judge William H. Alsup – a judge in the Northern District of California – has filed papers with the court notifying it that he will likely take “inactive status” sometime in 2025. Calling him a “larger-than-life jurist” who has presided over some of the most consequential cases in America, Law360 says Judge Alsup is “legendary” in the U.S. legal system. I concur…

Judge Alsup was featured in one of Strata-gee’s most popular stories ever written on patent battles, this one between Sonos and Google. There was a remarkable twist at the end of this story based on real-world detective work by Judge Alsup.

Cover page of Harman v. Voxx and Klipsch

Something tells me these companies – Harman International Industries, Inc. and Voxx International Corp/Klipsch Group, Inc. aren’t going to be friends…or even friendly. I have learned that Harman has filed a significant 13-count patent infringement lawsuit against Voxx/Klipsch for copying its patented JBL PartyBox line in the creation of the Klipsch Gig XXL party speaker line.

Harman says Voxx/Klipsch continued its allegedly unlawful actions even after being notified of the infringement by Harman back in the fall of 2023.
