  Fact Check on the web in Italian

  on Volunteers 3D-Print Unobtainable $11,000 Valve For $1 To Keep Covid-19 Patients Alive; Original Manufacturer Threatens To Sue

  I am Italian and have checked everything I could find online regarding this story and could find no mention of any law suits. Could you please cite the source that mentions legal action being taken? Dr Fracassi, in his own words, says that in this particular situation (emergency, not enough valves available, people's lives at stake, no gain for the company, will no longer be printed when the emergency subsides), he believes there are no grounds for suing for patent infringement. So that is maybe where this comes from?
