Dayan vs. V-Cube Patent Infringement

[peedu]

p.s. i like ur avatar

I will adjust the size of the screw according to that "information" some of "us" seem to know already, but we - the ordinary people - must be patient. Don't worry, you will get your information, it will be very soon, not months, it's only weeks.

No. Just no. That blogger so full of fail. Made several severe mistakes and doesn't bother to correct them or reply, not even one week after being told (see comments 10 and 11). And the TPF people do have better manners (partly thanks to Pantazis not saying much there), but they're about as clueless as people here. Particularly Bram (THE Bram Cohen) who just keeps making mistakes and talked big about how bad the patent claims are written and stuff BEFORE HE HAD EVEN LOOKED AT THEM. Unbelievable.

Yea lol it was funny watching that guy getting Pochmanned.

They may or may not do it.
But I believe that there are many people getting kinda' paranoid about it

Why would they do it?? You have just proven that you don't have a clue what you are talking about it.

Thank you Stefan. When I read through that blog post, I couldn't believe he thought he was saying legitimate things. Bram also did seem quite clueless about patents, as however obvious an idea is, the patent system is in place to allow people to profit. There's no way the patent that has been issued in all these countries will be invalidated because Bram Cohen thinks the idea is obvious.

In the near future (not months, it is just weeks) you will be buying the same GuHong cube with a different name - V-3. And the cost will be between 15 and 20 dollars. And you will pay for UPS shipping.

I doubt it.

I've received word that Konstantinos will make an appearance at the Mall of America competition, I believe in effort to talk about what is going on with this situation. I'm not sure if he'll give specifics or not, but the way I understand it, is that he wants to show he is not a beast but that he has passion for the cube and the culture.

I heard this from a friend/contact I have at V-Cubes, and he's been pretty reliable with the information he gives me.

Is it just me, or are you one of those people who knows someone everywhere? Also, there is a chance i will be at MOA11.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

It must be just you because I wish I knew so many more people Any chance you'd be able to hook me up with a free plane ride?

but the rivets won't be as bd as rubik's brand right? after all verdes have a pretty good quality.

i wonder if vcube will really make v3's. won' the plastic quality be better

anyway here's some pro and con about v-cube making v-3's (guhong copy if you ask me)

+

more consistent production quality
better durability (i think)
trusted company (by cubers)



-

high prices
high shipping prices
not as widely available as the original guhong
rivet means we have to but dayan core module ( i wonder if verdes will sue that too)
needs modding

Announcement should be coming soon.

Very little has changed since what we knew on day one. It was later discovered that they also forced lightake to take down the guhongs, so it wasn't just an ebay thing. And someone said that vcubes heard about the commotion and will maybe say something about it... some day.

 

[TK 421]

anyone getting replies from mr v yet?

pls quote them from your inbox, i'm curious to know

Those in the know, continue to be ambiguous and secretive, only telling everyone else to be "patient."

False. It was discovered that lightake took down their guhongs, where is the evidence that v-cubes forced it on them?

Although not definitive evidence, these 2 quotes do seem to imply it.

Hi:
Sorry for this.
It seems Lightake is the only target that V-cube pay attention to.
We are trying to negotiating with them and wait further news from them.

Hi:
We are trying to contact V- cube to get the rights to sale them.
It takes some time.
Anyway,we should bring all others back to normal first.

Hmm interesting. I wonder if they'll fold and emerge under a new name again.
