What I do find interesting about this is that G&G (the manufacturer of the Cybergun-licensed SCAR) is not in on this lawsuit. That is what takes the validity of their point down the toilet; the people that make the most off the gun (I hope) appear to not care at all. I could see an FN/Cybergun/G&G side of the story if a company goes through all the hard work and effort to get the rights to display accurate trademarks, and someone undercuts them with a cheaper (in more ways than one), non-trademarked version. This, though, seems like their offended that someone didn't take the time to whore themselves out to the highest bidder. Don't forget that VFC also sells a fully licensed SCAR, and they aren't going after Echo 1 either.
Understand that I am no huge Echo 1 fan. The G&G SCAR models are better in every way, and if Cybergun keeps licensing their whoreishness to decent manufacturers, I don't really care. But the day they try and force a CYMA down my throat because it happens to be the only gun with licensed trademarks, I will never buy Cybergun again, if it's even possible at that point. The way all of this should work in the first place is for real-steel manufacturers to directly license their trademarks to individual airsoft companies, like in the case of the Kriss TDI Super-V (made by KWA with full, and very accurate trademarks without much fuss from Kriss) or, as far as I know, the VFC SCAR series.
And the day SHOT Show opens? That's when you decide to sue? Just humiliating. It almost seems like they are putting thought into how they're going to screw someone up the pooper. Still, the restraining order is good; nothing like a nice little assault charge to start the day off right.
