One event that was really no surprise, but which did garner headlines and a lot of discussion, involved copycat products. You can be sure that anything introduced at CES one year will be generate an exact knock-off copy the next year. Hence the following story:
LAS VEGAS–Federal marshals raided the Consumer Electronics Show booth of a Chinese hoverboard maker, responding to allegations by a U.S. company that its product was illegally copied. Future Motion Inc., maker of a device called OneWheel, on Tuesday filed a patent infringement suit against Changzhou First International Trade Co. in federal court in Las Vegas. The company won an emergency temporary restraining order, leading the U.S. Marshals Service on Thursday to seize merchandise Changzhou was displaying at its CES booth.
And finally, as someone who is passionate about DIY computing, I was extremely impressed by the computer case offerings by InWIn, a Taiwanese manufacturer. If there is a Rolls Royce of computer cases, this is it. One of their cases opens up to a totally different shape, allowing you to experiment with different components and configurations and then, at the touch of a button, it transforms back into an amazing but normal-looking case, just like a Transformer from the movie series. This truly amazing bit of precision engineering can be had for just under $2,500 (case only, you supply all the computer components).
After years of covering CES, I’ve discovered that there is one area that most show attendees never visit. It is one area that I have learned to appreciate greatly. So, Part 2 of this series will focus on this not-so-well-traveled part of CES that should not be missed.
