Back in the news: Dye v. SP
- Thread starter Baca Loco
- Start date
Ironic eh? Was it not Dye (along with National) that signed agreements with SP to keep making markers back when SP were doing their patent bull****?
Anyway, SP are probably gonna be screwed here if Dye did indeed buy the full rights and assets from the original designers of the Matrix, seeing as how the Shocker is an almost exact clone, and the Matrix was released, what, 2 or 3 years before it.
And I don't think WDP could less give a ****, their case is over, they already got what they wanted.

But oh well..their money

Contrary to a lot of the opinion at the time, there was no contra deal signed between Dye and SP but maybe hindsight is prodding one party to maybe thinking there should have been
So apart from putting my shocker in my kitbag and using my ego...
Seriously what happens to the shocker.??.. they stop making it? have to get rid of all stock? and a lack of old parts??

I seriously doubt it to be honest. Probably just get resolved by massive damages being paid along with royalty on each product sold.
