I think it could be much farther reaching than that.... This is pure specualtion, but I think they could go after the companies who utilize Neve designs in their products.

BAE, Chandler, Vintech, Chameleon Labs, Wunder(?), Dan Alexander, Shep, Resolution Audio and many others all use designs based on Neve circuits utilizing the BA283 card.

Carnhill might even be in trouble, because the L01166 transformer is a Neve design....

This could change the landscape of products that utilize that transformer...

Whether AMS/ Neve actually does anything remains to be seen, but the idea is thought provoking...
