SIG Wins Patent Infringement Case from Steyr Arms

SIG SAUER, Inc., a leading provider of firearms, optics, ammunition, suppressors, and training is pleased to officially announce the company has prevailed in the patent infringement lawsuit from Steyr Arms in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Judge Joseph DiClerico, Jr. granted SIG SAUER’s motion for summary judgment, finding that SIG SAUER did not infringe Steyr’s patents, and dismissed all motions.

Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales made the following statement:

“We are extremely pleased with this ruling in favor of the SIG SAUER P320, the world’s most innovative handgun, and the SIG SAUER P250, which introduced modularity to the firearms market. The state-of-the-art SIG SAUER P320 is one of the most sought after firearms on the market, with its unmatched modularity, unprecedented accuracy, and uncompromising reliability. It has been chosen by all branches of the U.S. Military, as well as other domestic and global law enforcement agencies, and military units around the world. The P320 has truly redefined the modern handgun, and we are proud to have the years of extensive research and engineering that went into its design reaffirmed through this judgement.”

I wonder why that was settled in an American courtroom? Sig Sauer has some production facilities in the U.S. but is German owned. Steyr is Austrian.

Depends where the patents are filed.

Also, because the American market is fairly protectionist, both SIG and Steyr have US manufacturing subsidiaries because it's difficult to operate any other way in the US.

I think in this particular case a lot of the revenue revolved around supplying the US forces with the Sig P320 and 250 which alledgedly the patents infringed

Was sure I had a point when I started this post...
