    I fail to see how simply placing a cant indicator in a stock is patent infringement. I can understand if the method of placing it is patented, etc., but the concept in general?

    On the upside, having moved away from the jackassery that is Remington, I no longer need/desire Scott's wares, so this is a non-issue for me...

    Thoughts?

    Having the level in the chassis is the last place you want it anyway . IIRC this popped up about 6 ish months ago . Past that this is a classic case of lawyers looking to get paid and a manufacturer alienating potential customers .

    I wonder how he would feel about possible infringement for this image?

    Dammit I really liked his chassis what the mother f er is wrong with people.

    I agree about the stock level being worthless unless I’m mounting a scope. The rest of the time I use the bubble level on the scope

    Its not. Its only infringement if they have a patent that covers the concept AND you market and sell them, passing it off as your own design or try to pass it off as a genuine McRee. Possessing a rifle with one is not infringement (not by the owner, maybe by the seller), making one at home on your own is not infringement, making a one off and then selling it is probably not even infringement.

    All they're doing is making themselves look silly at best and like a-holes you don't want to do business with at worst. They're not helping themselves.

    Making a one-off and selling it is an infringement, but damages are based on the harm to the patent holder's business and the monies made by the infringer, so a one-off simply isn't worth the filing fees to even attempt to litigate, usually.

    Well, marked him down as "Never do business with". Threatening individuals is classic patent troll bullying.

    Patent infringement against a buyer?

    That's full alright! I guess every customer is supposed to be a patent attorney.

    What a moron.

    This is just as dumb as Apple's "slide to unlock" patent battle.
