Does Lage get $ from King Arms?

They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

I wonder if they bought an upper and stock to copy.

A chip off the old block!

It looks like it was manufactured in Taiwan or China which means litigation is going to be complicated and costly.

Not necessarily concerning the scenario in question, but in general, you can litigate at the International Trade Commission to block the importation of goods that infringe on various intellectual property rights, amount to unfair competition, involve antitrust claims, etc. It can be a pretty effective strategy and generally is much faster than litigation in the federal court system.

Nope, we don’t get any compensation for them using our IP. Not worth litigation.

That's crazy. At least it's not an interchangeable product and just cosmetic right? I mean all the internals are airsoft and even the shell would be worthless. I would assume they aren't compensating anyone for their knockoffs? Old China, you trade cheat you.

Wow
Whats the saying imitation is the strongest form of flattery.

Mr. Lage you can possibly have customs stop the import of those with just a simple letter.
I've seen it done with other knock offs.

The Lage uppers are just that stylish. Don't get me wrong the OEM upper has a ton of appeal but Lage uppers.....its almost like they should have come from the factory like that.

Been seeing these for a while now… no secret that LAGE has become synonymous with MAC-11 and even the Chinese have figured that out
