Quoted: And it’s semi automatic and shaped like a rifle View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: So far, one of their claims is "SFAR" looks like "SCAR" not kidding And it’s semi automatic and shaped like a rifle If they win, I bet KAC is not far behind with an SR-15 lawsuit. |

Quoted: The SFAR is a relatively new product, and I already knew the name was short for Small Frame Automatic Rifle, which is exactly what it is. The SCAR has been around for 15 years, and I had to look it up. SCAR is "Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle?" View Quote So the FN is actually a SOFCAR |

Quoted: Quoted: I worked for HK against ATI/GSG, so why not FN? You are comparing apples to toasters. HK didn't make a straight blowback .22, GSG did. HK sued GSG, HK made a straight blowback .22 for a higher price. |

Quoted: Is there a diff SFAR than google is showing? If not FN be smoking the good stuff View Quote As has been posted, it's a Trademark suit over the name "SFAR" looking too similar to "SCAR" and not on how the rifles look. ETA: From lawsuit: 26. Notwithstanding FN’s well-known and established rights in the SCAR Mark, Ruger has commenced use of the trademark “SFAR”—pronounced as the word “SFAR” rather than an abbreviation of letters—in connection with directly competing firearms to FN’s SCAR-branded firearms (referred to herein collectively as the “Infringing SFAR Mark”). 27. Ruger’s intentional violations of FN’s rights in the SCAR Mark include Ruger referring to its own firearms products as simply the “SFAR” with no reference to the term “Ruger,” as shown for example in the image below. 28. Ruger also touts that it manufactures goods bearing the Infringing SFAR Mark at its Mayodan, NC facility (as noted in the image above at bottom-right). 29. Third parties recognize and have pronounced the Infringing SFAR Mark as “SFAR” (not “S-F-A-R,”), which is unsurprising as Ruger is not using hyphens when promoting the Infringing SFAR Mark. 30. Moreover, FN understands that Ruger markets its Infringing SFAR Mark in connection with the same firearms as FN that are very similar or nearly identical in size, purpose, weight, feel, color, caliber, capacity, features, and even style to the firearms marketed and sold by FN for nearly fifteen (15) years under the SCAR Mark. 31. Specifically, Ruger is selling firearms, including rifles chambered for the .308 Winchester and 7.62 x 51mm cartridges, using the Infringing SFAR Mark in a manner that is highly likely to cause confusion with FN’s SCAR Mark. The concept that a customer for the FN SCAR could ever be confused and mistakenly purchase the Ruger SFAR is a damned stretch. |

The acronym is too similar. What a joke. Fn can suck a dick, bunch of fags

That one makes sense. This FN lawsuit is just silly and frivolous. |

Nobody is confusing those two products, which is the basis for all trade mark infringements. FN is out of their mind.

Quoted: Ruger has commenced use of the trademark “SFAR”—pronounced as the word “SFAR” rather than an abbreviation of letters View Quote What in the trailer park methbilly are they talking about? Does ruger actually pronounce it as a single word, sfar? I haven't heard anybody call it that. People do say "scar", because sc is a common letter combination in english words. Not really that many sf words, except where the s and f are in different syllables, or even different words joined together. Like assfuckers. As in, FN are acting like assfuckers. |

Quoted: So far, one of their claims is "SFAR" looks like "SCAR" not kidding View Quote FN is fucking trash. Sells you a threaded barrel gun and voids the warranty if you thread something to it. Discontinues their pistol models every few years and stops supporting them. Uses the lowest allowable warranty standard dictated by federal law. Now they sue for the dumbest fucking reason to ever exist? I hope Ruger counter sues for ownership of the SCAR so it can be updated like it should have been 10 fucking years ago, and owned by guys who aren’t Biden dick cheese eating boot licking Belgian alcoholic phaggets who bend over backwards to not support their products. |

Now I DEFINITELY need to buy an SFAR.

Is FN still part of the Browning/Winchester group? If so I’m sure Winchester will be along to sue that rugers 1895 marlin is too close to their 1886 Winchester…..

It"s a shame FN never worked out how to dye the plastic all the same color as the anodized finish. SCAR has always looked stupid because of it. Shaping the stock like a boot was also If they got the color right, made the stock less dumb, and angle the front of the handguard back same as the G36, man, it would have been a real winner. Poor poor silly SCAR.

FN is an off brand and crappy manufacturer? Ehh... if you never served, and you never played with an M240B or something, I could see how one might think this. Every single modern FN product I've ever played with has been somewhere between underwhelming and disappointing. The SCAR, the PS90, the FiveSeven, the 87 different polymer pistols... I picked up a FNS cheap once upon a time, but the only non-AR15 FN product I'd be interested in owning is maybe a FNX-45T, and it would have to be at a major discount because the build quality doesn't come close to matching the price tag. |

They're just fed and state trademark infringement and unfair competition claims. Nothing about function, patents, trade secrets (AFAIK, I just skimmed). Though I'm not a TM lawyer, it sounds similar to their previous suit against Ruger, complaining of Ruger calling their pistol a 57. That suit got dismissed with prejudice. Shrug, maybe a similar acronym is enough? Maybe their TM counsel deserve sanctions at this point? Couldn't say. |
