Ski Patent Wars Armada vs Rossignol

Over on TGR there are several pages of posts detailing claims that Armada Skis have issued Cease and Desist Notices against a number of ski Manufacturers over Patent Infringement. Apparently one of the Mfrs is Rossignol who have countered with their own claim.

Expect ski prices to rise with all this bickering. Those corporate lawyers will have to be paid for :roll:

I certainly don't expect any skis that I may buy to rise in price!

Read through the patents, seems to me that Rossi's have the upper hand. Moreover, because Armada have initiated the attack, Rossi's seem to have found issues with the Armada patent, which actually is a series of patent claims.

I love the legalese in Rossi's claim, "PRAYER FOR RELIEF" :wink:
I have often felt the same urge......
