saw this on another forum i attend, its the logo for neversummer longboards. i coulnt help but notice the similarity. im sure that lions and a crest have been symbols of quality and integrity long before paintball or skateboards. i just found it interesting.

Does this mean AGD can sue SP now?

I think Griffins are different than Lions tho...

The lion is an integral part of the design of the griffon. AGD is certainly the first to use lions as a logo in paintball. As for the English monarchy having dibs, prior patent cases show that taking something completely old and unoriginal and slapping it on a paintball marker counts as something new. Gentlemen, I think we have a case.

Seeing as the monarchy has had that design for over 300 years, I think the statute of limitations for any original artwork has long since run out.

Now, as long as AGD writes thier patent with a reference to this as 'prior art' they should be ok.

SP ignored the 'prior art' and was trying to make a case that they invented the technology they are attempting to patent.

WDP won't show up with some crazy Dr. claiming he made the design because he would have to be 300 years old....SP might be in a very actionable position.

Neversummer makes longboards now? Wow, I have been riding their snowboards since like 96, back when their boards carried a lifetime guarantee.
