Ok, that's it, I lost all respect for rubik's.
I'm gonna call the RUBIK'S CUBE the MOYU CUBE now.

Not a great one, because "The vast majority" is not all. You can still be trying to deceive someone into buying a product thinking it's something else, even if most people are not looking for that product.I'm wondering how good a legal argument this is: "the vast majority of people buying cubes from the Cubicle do so because they specifically *aren't* Rubik's brand cubes, but cubes from companies that produce better speedcubes". Also, I though Rubik's lost their trademark battle a while ago, I assume then I'm getting confused with something else that happened or it only applies in certain places?

Its not a Rubik's cube unless it actually is but at least we can rest assured that China doesn't care about copyright and Chinese stores are nearly half the price of the cubicle, but I think the WCA should sue Rubik's for not producing a decent cube or at least replace the Rubik's cube with 3x3x3
And speedcubeshop is probably next on Rubik's list of cube stores to sue, maybe affiliates will lose outThat's really disrespectful. You're not respecting the patent. Besides, wouldn't you be disappointed when you get a Moyu cube instead of a Rubik's cube? I know I would...
anyway, I think my last post didn't get posted, so here I go:
Down with thecubicle! Down with thecubicle! Down with thecubicle!
Optimus Prime once said: one shall fall, one shall rise.
Clearly, Rubik's will win this one. And rise up...

This is the speedsolving forum not the deliberately slow stiff cube lovers forumThat's true... maybe that's why I only buy from Rubik's!

Yes but I thought gan said they were honoured to have been picked and would use their best cube designs- why has the gan air SMThe first speedcubers used Rubik's and plus, haven't you seen the new Rubik's Speedcube?
EDIT: Want a link?...
(answer to B) I've heard people say it's because of the tiles. Also, they can't change their color scheme/shades and make it their own.Yes but I thought gan said they were honoured to have been picked and would use their best cube designs- why has the gan air SM
A) received lots more attention
B) been widely used by top speescubers while the rsc has not
China doesn't care about copyright
You're not respecting the patent.
the WCA can't sue Rubik's but I think copyright laws really do need updating and that they should decide whether it is an infringement based on the shape of a corner or edge not the overall puzzle
They buy the base cube from one source and vinyl sheets from somewhere else from which they cut stickers, stick them to the cube, and then sell the result as a finished product. I'm pretty sure the magnets and lube aren't relevant here since they don't affect appearance which is all that is covered by the trademark.I need enlightenment. How does TC manufacture cubes? Dont they just set up cubes for us, which is the same thing as buying an rc car, then the shop gives us lubricant, a free bottle of oil, spart parts etc? Or am I missing something as i never bought from TC?

Yeah I know. If 25 was accurate:Lol points 24, 25, and 26. Actually is this lolable?
Also what even
Hopefully Phil's years at law school will be able to help him out.
If they lose, it's likely going to happen to other cube stores, not just themtfw you kinda want the cubicle to lose the lawsuit just for the memes
