Asetek recieves $600K as a result of a Patent Infringement lawsuit

But that's part of my point. Did they actually prove CM copied Asetek or did they prove that the designs were very similar because there are only so many ways you can develop a pump atop a CPU block? This is an issue I have in general with people suing others over intellectual property. There are times where it's clear something has been stolen, like the recent case of Oculus. But then there are cases such as in the music industry where a folk artist from the 70's sues an indie band from 2010 for penning a chart-topper that has a very similar melody to this obscure folk song from the 70's. How do they actually go about proving judicially that the work was stolen?

Music industry is worse - Someone recently bought the rights to 'kookaburra sits in an old gumtree" an old Australian folky song. Then they sued Men At Work for using a riff similar to song in Land Down Under which was massive hit in the early 80s. And won! FFS. 30 years after the song was released.

For me i can not support a company like this they just seem to be sue happy, It seems like to me that if any AIO comes close to these "Asetek" branded AIO's they just want to sue everyone.

As a company i don't like Asetek morals when it comes to things like this maybe morals isn't the correct word but i can't think of another one.
