No lawsuits because they had to use Lionel R2LCs and Lionel Audio Boards. I suspect licenses were required as well, though Lou and others can confirm.
The 64 dollar question in my mind is since Lionel has declared that technology as obsolete, therefore declaring the trains that use it as obsolete will they allow anyone else to offer replacements without the need for licensing?

TAS was the first TMCC licensee. After the UCUB we made the SAW board for the licensees that followed. Yes a lot of it was Lionel components. We created some new features installed on the mother board and then Lionel changed the Licensing agreement to say that new features were not allowed. We had Neil Young encouraging us to create new features and Lionel sending cease and desist orders. Crazy times.
