Last I heard, he was discussing the issue with his lawyer. I would hope the attorney would know about those sanctions.

Personally, it's "bad" that companies infringe on patents, but I also blame consumers too. After all, if no one bought the copied items, there would be no sense in copying them in the first place. Oh, I'm sure there are some who don't realize there is a patented original, but I'd bet that most do know it and go for the cheaper alternative to save a few $$$.
