Brass Eagle for example, who made th Rainmaker and now makes a couple sear trippers -- nothing remotely close to an impy or shocker there --, has had multiple letters telling thme to cease manufacturing or they will be sued. the guns continue to roll of the lines, but no lawsuit as of yet

The best weapon in a court situation is an example of a case exactly like the one you're in where the person who was in the same shoes you are in won. So if Smartparts goes after a smaller, less-renowned, weaker company and wins, it gives them "legal ammo" to use when they're going after companies like Brass Eagle and Kingman who have the finances, size, and reputation, to be a serious opponent. The fact ICD's product is so similar could be a factor as it helps Smartparts' chances because the design of one of their markers would be more clearly infringed upon.

If they lose against ICD, they're probably done and won't win anymore because other companies can use the case against Smartparts. If they win, their case would become much stronger and then things will get really interesting.

Kevmaster, did BE really get contacted by them telling them to stop making E-markers and that they'll get sued if they don't? Wow.

If true, that would be very suprising as they have no legal grounds to do so.
