Pulse hopper sales have been halted due to a court's temporary restraing order. NPS has filed a
lawsuit against Procaps. Hopefully, things will be resolved soon.

NPS vs. Procaps Distributors - Pulse Sales Temporarily Stopped
February 12th, 2007 by DanaNPS* has filed a suit against Procaps Distributors. Apparently, on two
separate accounts, NPS claims that Procaps infringed on their copyrights with the Pulse and broke a
non-disclosure agreement that they had signed.

Essentially, the copyright / patent infringement appears to be on the RF Chip and trigger
activation sensor, being as how it is based around a magnetic system. However, also included in the
suit documents is some pretty vague language about the general operating system. The Pulse
internals are fairly similar to a Halo’s.

The non-disclosure agreement that NPS claims Procaps broke is a big deal too. This agreement means
that NPS* showed Procaps some blueprints for technology that they were developing and Procaps took
the technology, added to it, and produced it, without crediting NPS or paying NPS.

This is a claim of intellectual property theft.

The courts will decide in about 2 weeks who wins. Until then, Pulse sale, distribution, and
promotion in the US is to cease. If NPS is correct in that Procaps did indeed break these laws,
then they’ll probably go for a settlement, and prices on Pulses will jump to $200++. Under a more
strict ruling, Procaps may even be prohibited from selling the Pulse at all. All you Pulse owners
don’t worry though, because you’ll still be covered for tech support, etc, as long as DXS remains
afloat. If Procaps successfully defends itself, then all is well with DXS and its Pulse loaders,
and the world will keep on turning, except with a few richer lawyers.

*NPS is now merged with PMI under the name KEE Action Sports, however, for this post, I’m saying
NPS because it is a more recognizable name.
