You know that the internet is full of experts, don't you?:tinfoil3::flypig:
are you sure BRP is that big, they were sold off the the Bombardier that makes planes and trains
This would be epic!

This might have been mentioned already but didn't poo gain rights to electronic reverse by giving up some of their patents when their pwc program went belly up?
With the sudden increase in blown belt and blown engine threads in the Cat forum, how can anyone dispute the similarities???

i heard they cant sidehill either

Us Minnesotans could......
Take those Canooks, But we like 'em. If they were tough enough ya would think they could take the Northwest Angle. ( the only bump in the border)

that would suck if hightime has to give his new sled back
Guys lets really think about this.
1. documents state that they started noticing in 2007 with the twin spar chassis, why did doo not raise a fuss then?
2. Notice on the side of your machine there is a label stating all patents related to that product. Do we reallly think that A/C totally missed that label and did not explore the patent to insure that they did not infringe on Ski Doo and risk a large suit? And i am not a patent expert by any means but i agree with the above post stating 10% change to get around a patent. Think about it 10% is really not that much if you think about it. If there are ten varaibles that make up rider position really you only need to change 1.
3. Chances are Ski Doo had people within there orginzation sno check some machines so they could inspect them. I know i recieved mine on Oct 6th maybe they got one later who knows but to dissassemble one make enginering comparisons and consult your legal team takes until the 15th of Dec to file complaint? Why would they not press the issue sooner? The suit staes that they want production halted ahh isnt production finished today according to a post i read here. And also to destroy inventory. Why would doo wait for a good percentage of the inventory to already be sold?? I know they need to be sure berfore starting such a large legal process.
This is just my own opinion. i think this is a marketing ploy by BRP to interupt A/C sales. I am not certain but i belive late dec and january are the best months for sales on non snow check sled. So yeah why not throw something out like this just as sales season gets going? As a consumer i want to buy products from a company that has long term forcast and a claim like this will surely bring doubt to alot of consumers. So i call radishes on the suit, you never know though but if i were on a jury and in the stae of today economy had to choose between crippling a US company or a foreign company i know what i would do

It was the electronic reverse and coupled rear suspension stuff that got traded.

Instead of throwing around money in legal action against Cat, maybe they should invest in a program that will unveil a revolutionary new idea, like a primary clutch that doesn't need rebuilt every 500 miles, that doesn't eat cranks and $hit belts and that doesn't cost 3x what the competitors cost.
If they could do that and knock $800 off the cost of a new sled it would be a win/win for Doo.

at least this will help keep all the new sleds from getting more expensive.....:face-icon-small-dis

That's why I bought a Cat....
'cause it just like a Doo.......Yeah, right ! Maybe I'll change my mind I don't want a Doo. even if it's painted like a Cat.
On another note. Where's my sled?

Yeah good idea. Lets just abolish patent laws all together. This way we could all still be riding 1970's technology sleds. It's b/c of these laws that people invent new stuff. Without them where is the incentive to invent. Oh and btw your description of a doo sled could and does describe every sled built.
This whole thread does absolutley nothing except show how stupid people are, and their willingness to say stupid chit just to make them feel like part of something(not hacking you personally j-rod I mean all of us).
I highly doubt there are five people on snowest that can actually contribute in an educated way to this thread.

Better watch it or we'll burn the White House down again! Lol:bolt:
