Dayan vs. V-Cube Patent Infringement

[ZamHalen]

The only thing I see that bears a slight resemblance are the corners. Other than that it's completely different.

I actually think that there is a great resemblance, making Verdes' actions accountable for.

I added the yellow parts on the V Cube 3 design to show where they are very different. As you can see the pieces are very different.

Yet another joke? Is it some kind of "April's fool day" today anywhere in the world?

What is a joke? The patent infringement thing? It seems pretty legit.

Think you can add a Ling-Yun to that pic? Those have also been pulled.

I like mine more. GuHong with 'stolen illegally' illusion idea.

if guhong was released before 2008, then it would be vice-verse, and if it isnt, i would want the rule "first come first served" to apply...(lolz) hope it works out

Patents are based on filing dates. Once a patent is filed, it becomes public in 18 months, and it may be a few after that until it's approved, but once it's approved, it's effective. If someone has prior art that dates to before the file date, they can challenge it.

lets call anonymous and let them ruin everything that verde have put online. I got a bit pissed when he banned maru 4x4 but the V4 is very similar but this, this is just ridicilous. THE ****** GUHONG ISN'T SIMILAR TO THE V3 IN ANYWAY ***. I'm just waiting for when he bans storebought and alpha models...
verde is just jelous cuz that other cubes sell better than his damn v5

I have my suspicions that Παναγιώτης Β. is a member of the v-cube family, although I may be wrong on that.

 

[~Adam~]

That was my assumption aswell.

 

[flan]

why the guhong? :'(
why god?
why???

 

[ElectricDoodie]

Christmas is rolling around, and right when I can finally get a Guhong, it gets the axe...

They better make it out of this alive.

 

[a small kitten]

This is pretty sad. So many people depend on the Guhong to do well in comps...

As my suspicions were correct, that person is not anyone Konstantinos knows (verified by e-mail). Removed the posts and banned the user.

After watching a video with a couple of cube sellers falsely claiming there is no resemblance to the patent,
and desperately attempting to publicly ridicule Verdes, I believe the outcome is very fair.

For those who insult the inventor, remember who brought this technology and *then* speak.
The cubes *will* come out eventually. It is copies sold by such people the main reason
which hinder the efforts of Verdes for new cubes. So if you blame Verdes, you blame the
wrong person. At least, Verdes *has* ethics.

Finally, there is a good blooming reason a patent exists, and that is to protect the inventor,
regardless if many other people (who claim that "they don't know") do not understand this.
(in fact, *especially* for those people!)


Rant over.

I'm going to guess that some of this fuel is coming from the fact that the V Cube 3 hasn't even been mentioned to be released, and the 2, 4, and 6b were all shown publicly yet still unreleased, and there is some definite tension from that (on these forums, at least). I don't want to say that everybody (or even a lot of people) feel this way for sure, but it could definitely be a perception based off previous threads concerning V Cubes.

Pantazis, I'm sorry to say that if you think dayan II is a copy of vcube3 it's because your "friendship" or whatever to Verdes made you blind.
