Therefore they are not allowed to sell the product and all companies, insurance or otherwise, are probably not allowed to do business with them until the case is settled. Isn't this like standard corporate law?
Until that time the product is essentially unavailable. I think it is probably more due to the wording of the suit in this case anyway. The company that has the patent is protecting themselves.
Blaming the Ins co. in this case makes no sense.

The company with the patent, Aspex, is the plaintiff. The defendant, vsp, is punishing Aspex for suing them.

What gets me is that a company has to be forced to do the right thing.
