Originally posted by AfterPentax Hi Steve, I do not think that sueing Ricoh USA is a problem. If you go to their website and choose under products for equipment you can select camera and yes, there are the Theta's and consumer camera's
They can try, I suppose. The Ricoh USA named in the complaint as being headquartered in Exton, Chester County, Pennsylvania offers an array of products and services, but no cameras.
Digital Business Services & Printing Solutions | Ricoh USA
Ricoh Imaging Americas (US and Canada distributors of Ricoh and Pentax cameras and accessories), OTOH, is headquartered in West Caldwell, New Jersey and has no direct relationship to Ricoh USA.
If the suit goes forward, it will be the Pennsylvania entity that will be served and they will likely respond with a letter to the court suggesting that they have no record of selling Pentax products to the plaintiffs or anyone else. There is always the chance that the lawyers filing the complaint will come across this thread, realize their error, and file a revised version; but I suspect that they are not the diligent type.
