RE: Elite vs Bowtech court ruling
Gibblett,
Well we disagree here. If a judge tells a company they can only sell the existing product untill August 31st and then must market a new line and then puts a bunch of "appearance" type conditions on the new product then I wouldn't expect a new line too soon from elite. If they can pull a new design out of a hat then they would have anticipated this ruling and were prepared for it. If I was Elite I would appeal this as the conditions are so far reaching ( even limb angle + or - 3 degrees ) alot bows look alike and probably are violating this judge's ruling. I wonder if it will stand on appeal. But, that could take a long time and money spent on lawyers and not R&D or inventory. Hey I think they had a great bow and would likely have bought one after the company had put down some roots and could honour its warranties, but even though I'm not a lawyer I am in business and understand what is involved in creating new lines and getting them to market and that ruling is a major body blow.
