There has been no evidence presented whatsoever for the assertion that e-Ink has been abusing their IP other than one post from a throwaway account on HN a couple of years ago. No corroborating news articles about lawsuits, which the post alleged; no filings about acquisitions, which the post alleged; nothing. But somehow HN posters have adopted that as the truth?

No one here has said they were abusing their IP . The common theme on HN and other sites is that e-ink are pricing their hardware at such a high level that it makes anything other than small tablets unaffordable .

We will have to just wait until the patent runs out in order to see great advancements in this tech like what we have seen from the aftermath of the expiration of certain 3D printer patents

I'm genuinely curious. Which patent is that?

That's equivalent to me making a claim like "Microsoft is blocking progress in operating systems" and then said here's the evidence: https://patents.justia.com/search?q=+Microsoft+Corporation
