Protection against obsolescence.
Is there any legal recourse against a manufacturer of medical equipment who declares a product "obsolete" and discontinues repair service, support services, and providing spare parts? Is there something implied in a written contract for such equipment that the manufacturer will provide repair service and spare parts for a number of years before the equipment is declared to be "obsolete"?
