The low quantity of 3x3x3 cubes available on our website today is due to a legal action initiated by Seven Towns Ltd., owner of the Rubik trademark. The company is trying to force specialized cubes resellers worldwide to stop the sales of any cube brand and type, included 2x2x2, 4x4x4, 5x5x5 and most probably other types. This obviously includes any speed cube.If Seven Towns Ltd wins this battle, the whole speed cubing world will be thrown out of existence and there will be only Rubik brand cubes on the market. ICubiK and all the other cubeshops are fighting this battle to let the cube enthusiast enjoy their favorite hobby now and in the future. we will do our best to have the largest possible selection of items offered on sale, within the terms of this legal battle.
iCubiK.com staff
i received an email from icubik today, which in. a nutshell says that SevenTowns is trying to block the sale of any cube other than Rubik's.
Does anybody have any further info on this?
Also can we try to avoid the innevitable Verdes references please? No flaming, just useful info please?
