I think Bambu would had to have never allowed sales or use of a printer in east Texas (a huge state).
I’m now curious if EULAs or geofencing products to make using them in that district a violation of the license. As terrible as it would be, it could be useful in protecting businesses from patent trolls. Maybe even teach east Texas to stop giving the trolls a stage.
You don’t have to do geo-fencing or disallow use. Don’t distribute or ship to East Texas, and don’t do support there, warranty or otherwise, done. You’re onto something with the EULA bit, but beyond that is a burden they are not obligated to take up or impose upon grey-market customers.
