The filing is an interesting read in that, it seems other manufacturers could possibly be liable if Wilson is successful with this lawsuit...

I always thought about this very topic.

I just figured costly litigation would be too hard to overcome for Wilson. With so much talk about bats and softballs not being profitable, I just figured it was an “Uber” situation.

Sidecar was the first ride share company and sued Uber for blatantly stealing all their patents...until they ran out of money.

True. I also heard of a paintball company who went out of business for going around trying to sue other paintball gun manufacturers for using electronic triggers or something like that.

I figure Wilson just thinks Monsta is a low hanging fruit and are testing the waters.

Wilson has/is more than just softball dunno if running outa money would be an issue.. they (demarini) is the innovator of doublewall tech

And LS was the first one to use the discs.....

Carl won’t make it, there is going to be a **** ton of different models coming out for presale next week

 

[ShortYellowBus]

Monsta is in a lot of problems.

Stealing IP is serious ****.

Avoid pre-orders...

But Monsta's doublewall tech is completely different; it has chunks of packing foam in there too.

Hopefully Carl goes to prison and gets ass-raped like all the people he screwed on pre-orders.

One has to wonder if there was an underlying trigger that drove this action.

Softball bat sales?

 

[chleb]

Compared to Wilson/DeMarini how many bats is Monsta selling?

 

[MPT23]

There is a post on basefook where he is talking about walking away from monsta. Not sure if its connected, but ya gotta think so.

 

[sun5150]

Monsta goes out of business = used bat prices goes up in price?

 

[Country469]

Wilson's money from being the iron of the US open winner will be enough to hopefully put Carl out of bidness

Real talk tho I'd start a go fund me if Wilson needs cash for legal fees, **** Carl right in lying ***** ass

 

[etnstudios]

i wonder if Wilson had to wait a bit for Carl to actually sell so many units since it seems as if the damages will be calculated based on sales. Well played Wilson. i was thinking back to when Carl was first on here talking about all his innovations and such and everyone telling him it's already been done. i can't find those old thread but it'd be great if they were submitted as evidence lol

 

[dttruax]

FWIW, apparently Monsta's patent for their FIB was filed about a year before Wilson's Double Barrel patent.

you're misremembering. there were maybe a handful of people questioning him. the vast majority were sucking him off and attacking the others cause he was offering bats to be tested

 

[etnstudios]

that's right. i remember that now. guess i was looking back with rose colored glasses.

Last I looked Anta Group was valued at OVER 18.9 billion, I don't think they need any help when it comes to money.

It is ironic that a chines based company is suing for patient infringement considering that amount on knock offs that are produced in their own country. There is probably a fake Anta store right beside their head office.

But his bats have a FLOATING inner barrel, and were the first to offer true 4-wall flex....





....and were assembled in his garage.

You know I feel for someone who tries to go out on a limb to create something, giving all your effort and money for your passion to share with others, I like to spend money toward those kind of businesses, but from the get go he was just so Cocky and arrogant, especially on here, just a total dbag that felt he was better than anything, he used “preorder” money to fund his purchases to assemble in his garage, make you wait forever, I have never swung a Monsta out of spite, never would hold one, do they perform yes, but I wouldn’t do it, obviously the tech is there, “possibly” stolen from Demarini, I hope he gets what’s coming to him and his band of merry henchmen factory ****heads can go **** off

 

[jkwoody22]

I even stopped doing business with a3 when they started offering monsta, I was really surprised they did that, I enjoyed their exclusives and company, knowledge etc, I wonder if their ties to demar will change that

 

[Joker]

anarchy was the answer to that but they partnered up with sis and **** them for profiting from using 9/11

 

[Country469]

this threads needs Buggs to come in and talk about a new protoype now

 

[Normy]

An Evil bat? Hmmmm..

 

[Country469]

He already makes a wood bat

 

[jkwoody22]

I wish that singlewall would have happened

 

[jbo911]

I remember it going south for him when he wanted sbf to buy his bats for retail and sell them for him out of the goodness of their hearts. Even his strongest supporters were like dude, that's not how this works.
