    GI was awarded an injunction stopping Valken from selling the said paint till the case is ended, Valken has settled in a former case which is not a good thing for them.

    GI was denied an injunction for the same against APX, which has the best chance as they've never been sued or settled with GI.

    Like Tom said, same people acting the same.

    Such a vague patent should not have been granted.

    Next thing you know there'll be a one color ball and a two color ball patent and everyone will be paying alimony to the 800 lb gorilla in the corner.




    This will give you an idea why the suit was filed in Texas:

      The market is SO small now it just shuts off most of the options. Maybe when the last of the gun manufacturers go out of business there will be enough demand. :) Very disappointing to see that the lawsuits have started up again. If you have the same people you get the same results.

      There have been some private label AutoCockers selling in the $1,200 - $1,500 range depending on the anodizing and finishes. Based on this there may be a market for some New AGD limited run specialty markers.

      I'm referring to the Niche AutoCockers.
      ......You know you want one!!

        I've noticed A LOT of high end / limited Cockers selling in a much different fashion than I've seen before

          Those guns also have nice milling. To me it is a combination the milling and anodizing that helps those markers command that kind of money. I can totally see why AGD is having a hard time selling the custom anodized guns, they aren't different other than the color, which is a highly personal thing.

          I may be wrong but doesn't Niche offer you an option to pick the color you want for the anodizing. I know that BPS did when they did the Twisters.
