Surely they'll have to rename themselves and rebrand everything. That'll take time, and money... I can't imagine that can be done very quickly, unfortunately. It also puzzles me they didn't do this a lot more calmly earlier instead of going to court. Oh well.
Like everyone else here, I was looking to buy a ton of stuff from them this Back Friday period. :-)
All the EU style plugs are also gone from the store, I assume by the demand of the big bro Athom, lol, cause countries outside of EU that use the same style plug just don't exist for these entitled pricks. I'm not big on home automation, but I'll see what I can get into just to buy a few other things to support this business, since after witnessing the endless lamentations of average home automation users on the internet struggling to set up complex servers and begging their overlords to allow them to use devices they bought on their own LAN (and going through some of that myself) what Athom Tech offers seems like the peak of usability. Within minutes with just my smartphone I was able to set the plug up and program it to do what I wanted autonomously (not through any network) so that I can at least hope that it'll work reliably without supervision, instead of being 100% certain that at some point it's inevitably going to fail. Sorry for the rant, going through the comments on that original lawsuit article riled me up.
Reading it, it IMHO also sounds like 'big company with lots of lawyers' versus small business with one person (or only a few + outsource manufacturing) who can't afford to fight the case.

Yes the products are so great. Is there hope that it will be solved soon?
