My question - you guys see anything wrong in selling upgrade for E3D hotend and mention E3D name because of that? Because you can buy on ebay aftermarket LED lamp for Toyota and Toyota somehow does not take very personally. Toyota is not claiming to be open source, E3D does.

We’re hardly threatened by some 9 buck accessory insulated with epoxy and PTFE being sold on eBay. The cartridge thermistors were released many months before any action took place, and we are expressly trying avoid mistakenly taking down things which are not infringing.
What is however a problem is when companies, such as RepRapChampion, do things like make a 1:1 clone of our designs, and steal our brand names to use on your website and listings to promote said clones. It makes it hard for me to sympathise with your cause. It also perhaps explains, to some extent, the reasons why the firm we work with might have confused your stud thermistor for an infringing product.

Uh... if this accessory wasn't a theat, why take down the listings for it? Contradiction.

If you had bothered reading all of Sanjay's thread, you would have understood that E3D didn't take down the posting, a third party firm did on their behalf. A firm that probably relied upon a generic computer algorithm to find every non-E3D approved use of the term "E3D" and auto-submitted a take down request rather than verifying that it was in violation of E3D's rights.
E3D has since discussed the issue with the firm in question, to ensure they be more diligent in the future. There is no contradiction in E3D's post because it was not their intention to stop third party add-ons, only clones claiming to be originals.

E3D is a UK company. Sanjay can go swivel, and so can you.

I would like to personally apologise for the mistaken takedown of your stud thermistor listing. This was an error on behalf of the firm we are working with. I have just gotten off the phone and had a stern word with them about ensuring they are only taking down things that we rightfully should be.
