最近LWRC国际公司将西格公司告上法庭,指控被告方生产的SIG516巡逻型步枪(上)侵害了其“自动清洁导气系统”的专利权。由于自动清洁导气系统并非一个全新概念,很多武器都采用了类似的设计,最终LWRC国际公司的起诉被驳回,图为两家公司分别生产的采用自动清洁导气系统的武器,同为AR系步枪,外观和结构都颇为相似。 Recently, LWRC International sued SIG to court alleging that the SIG516 patrol type rifle manufactured by the defendant violated its patent of “self-cleaning air conduction system.” Since the automatic cleaning of the air conduction system is not a new concept, many of the weapons have adopted a similar design and eventually LWRC International was dismissed for prosecution. The picture shows an automatic clean air conduction system manufactured by the two companies, respectively, Rifles, appearance and structure are quite similar.
