H&K hunting for their copyrights in the airsoft industry. We have seen this coming, especially with the news that Umarex has gotten the rights to Heckler and Koch rights to design and trademark. It's no surprise that they have made a move via Continental Enterprises which is said to be "trademark extortionist" according to The Tabberone Trademark & Copyright Abusers' Hallf of Shame in litigation-friendly US of A. Airsoft forums in the US are abuzz with these developments and we do not know how this will pan out. But we'll keep our eye on it.
