Pro-Team is apparently taking Brass Eagle into arbitration over their contract. There's a full article on 68caliber

Bottom line is 'They' made iron clad agreements years ago (that were BTW, heavily in thier favor IMO) and continue to use PTPs resources to date and have in the most basic terms , said they are just not going to pay because they don't think PTP can do anything about it.

This is way more than just Patent stuff , pretty much all areas from R&D to design to consultations on large numbers of stuff , legal issues of many facets ,etc.

At some point you have to stop taking all the beatings and just give all the fight you can , even if your heavily out matched. That's what PTPs is trying to do , win one for the little guys.

(Fingers crossed . . . )

I'm not picking sides here, but that article seemed very biased to me.

Who was it written by?

[Ninjeff]

interesting. I agree the article does seem a bit biased though.

Uh, aren't these two links the same? Also, that is some terrible, terrible writing from an industry reporting standpoint.

link to it, don't reproduce the whole story. the former is permissible, the latter if infringement.

[rabidchihauhau]

Let's go over it one more time:

the LINK is ok and legal.

COPYING the entire article is copyright INFRINGEMENT.

Since AO complied immediately with a request to remove the offending material, no more needs to be said or done about it.

The article is, I believe NOT an article, but a press release given exclusively ti 68caliber.com

Press Releases by their very nature are BIASED.

I can tell you though that while the tone favored pro-team, all of the facts are accurate.

[rabidchihauhau]

Terrible writing?

Gee, if I had written it, I'd be offended.
