Seven Towns vs. Dayan - Color Scheme Copyright Infringment

[Johnny]

Why hasn't Dayan started shipping cubes with its new color scheme?

Don't they not have the right to use orange anymore?

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

They have every right to still use orange, what you read in the copyright infringement thread is so far unacted on, and a lot of it is speculation.

How do they have every right? Didn't they say they'd change it?

At some point last year they had purple stickers instead of orange. However, the newer ones have orange.

If it is X opposite X, cant it be changed to X opposite Florescent X?

The CS on storebought cubes actually have brighter colours.

This is true my Panshi that I got at the beginning of March came with orange and not purple.

Just a theory I just came up with: Designers create pictures of invalid cubes (e.g. five yellow corner stickers) not because they're clueless, but because they want to avoid copyright violations.

Will this count to all brands and not only dayan.
Also is it true that customs can destroy the cube if it isn't rubiks and has the rubiks colour scheme.
And I think the best thing to do is to send an orange sticker side to please your customers

Messing around with colour recognition is not good in my opinion

Dayan is the main target, but other companies are affected too. Dayan has purple instead of orange, but send extra orange.

Hey funny thing just happened- Seven Towns just made me remove 3 of my ebay lots because I was trying to sell some second hand cubes and Magics! I have violated their copyright because I used "Rubik's" when selling some cubes. I know they're correct because they're mostly ShengShou and DaYan brand, but c'mon :fp
Anyway, I'm about to relist some ShengShou, DaYan cubes, Ghosthand and other quality definitely not Rubik's items.

Good luck at not getting your shop shut down.
