Silly Belgiums

Since when is it lawsuit worthy for one company to compete with another?

Trademark infringement is I think what they mean to say.

 

[LEaSH]

I hope FN doesn't find out about my SNAR.

 

[Noble Sniper]

What a bunch of idiots!!!! I hope Ruger counters sues and hurts them!!!!

 

[DadSmith]

Was you confused when you bought the SFAR?
I mean they look identical, and the brand names are hard to distinguish from. Ruger looks a lot like FN Herstal.
The rifles are practically identical in color, shape, and size.

Hey boys, FN USA has been building SCARS here in Columbia, SC since 2008. Along that time some FN Hersal rifles have been imported.

And price

I don't buy new Rugers .

Why not ?

 

[Sigblitz]

I better hide this.

Anyone remember Jeep suing Hummer 'cuz they looked too similar? Whaaaaaaatttt????

 

[Bassat]

The same reason I do not buy new Smiths or Colts.....Poor QC.

Yep, I've purchased 3 revolvers so far this year. 686+, 442, and CA Off Duty. CA is by far the best of the bunch.

 

[Methane Herder]

Wow! I would have thought this would have been a Five Seven vs 57 sort of thing. Not this.
Still utterly no merit from a form factor perspective. If Ray Charles was still with us and in the market, there still wouldn't be any confusion.

That's like saying 5 dollars are the same as 5 billion.

Toyota wound up having to pay a database company (Lexis/Nexis) because they claimed Lexus was too similar to their trademark - even though they weren't remotely competitive with each other

Do tell, what companys firearms do you buy?

Harley Davidson tried to sue Yamaha because the Roadstar sounded to much like a Harley. HD lost
