Wednesday, September 10th, 2014Slight Change to Crye Precision’s AirFlex Combat Knee Pad
Wednesday, September 10th, 2014I picked up a new pair of AirFlex Combat Knee Pads last week from Crye Precision and just noticed that they had made a slight change to the mold for the rubber cap. Above you can see the new version and below an older Pad.
What they’ve added is a link to www.lwpatents.com which is a simple website that lists all of LineWeight’s patents. LineWeight LLC is Crye’s IP holding company and the site lists each patent by item and number.
Other than that, no additional changes have been made. For users, they are the same pads you’ve been wearing. For collectors it will be a data point. But for competitors it’s a warning. They want others to be fully cognizant that there is a patent on this product. Crye Precision has been defending their intellectual property for years and I see this as a message that they will continue to do so.

Team Wendy v. FMA – Court Rules In Team Wendy’s Favor
Thursday, August 28th, 2014Very exciting news! Team Wendy has recently won a court battle against Hong Kong-based FMA in regards to the their counterfeiting of Team Wendy’s intellectual property. The final judgement and permanent injunction can be read below:
Additionally, Team Wendy has released a brief statement regarding the matter:
Team Wendy decided to go after a Chinese/Hong Kong company (FMA) that has been knocking off our intellectual property. After we educated the court about the potential confusion and safety issues inherent in FMA’s knock-offs, the court entered the attached judgment in our favor. A nice victory/statement against those stealing American intellectual property.
Congratulations to Team Wendy for the court victory, and hopefully this ruling will serve as a precedent for ceasing any future instances of copyright infringement of gear by foreign companies.
