Honeywell’s patent infringement lawsuit against the makers of terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS), filed on May 10 in U.S. District Court in Delaware, has stirred a hornet’s nest of criticism by top executives from companies named in the suit.

Claiming that the lawsuit is as much to do with underhanded marketing tactics and customer intimidation as it is with any genuine legal issues, several charged that Honeywell is trying to plant seeds of doubt in customers’ minds as the market for TAWS heats up.
