Sounds good to me as long as it can use standard barrels!
 Maybe they can make it with integrated front and rear flip-up BUIS!

This is the one that McGrubbs posted earlier... just to be fare, he did not say that LT was making it, rather only that someone is Texas was thinking about it -- naturally, we all assume what that means, but in the event that it is not something Mark is working on, well here it is...

I wonder if Larue will make a new SPR mount without the forward offset to go with the monolith.
Simpler to fabricate, and no need for the extension, because you can mount the scope wherever you want given an unbroken top rail. |

That's a bold statement. Does Carl Lewis know about that? Also, Mr. LaRue might want to check with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office about that claim. They are unaware of the pending application. wp |

Here's the deal, I know Wes and Mark well enough to say that neither of them would step on their dick like this if it was not true... to claim in print that something is protected by trademark, servicemark or patent -- when it is really not -- is against the law! In addition to violating trademark laws, Mark would be setting himself up for some pretty ugly law suits from competitors if it was not true... I do agree that if LMT had protected the name for the MRP, this would be far too close to avoid a claim of "consumer confusion" -- but I just read through the new LMT catalog and can not find a single instance of where they say the name MRP or Monolithic is protected... the idea is submitted for patent, but it looks like LT beat them to the punch on the name! |

I have personal knowledge of projects that Mark has currently under way and where this project is concerned I believe the following is true …#1, The PTO will not discuss pending claims, #2, you have no idea how long LT has been working on this project, and #3, merging a hand guard with an upper is an "obvious improvement to someone well-versed in the industry"...there simply is nothing to patent there. As far as the Lewis patent I believe that it only relates to that switchable barrel business which Mark and his team blew off the instant they independently thought about it. |

All of this may be true but since LMT engaged in commerce with "MRP" and "Monolithic" far before LaRue said word one it would be impossible for LaRue to enforce his trademark. His trademark is completely worthless. |

The wild and crazy folks at the USPTO do indeed discuss pending patent applications - in fact, you and I can search through them.
They also do a lot of work with the whole "T" part of their name... There is no trademark registered to Larue regarding "monolith". |
|
|
|
Posted: 2/13/2006 5:56:34 PM EDT
[#39]
I think what he is refering to is the name "Monolith" -- It is far too close to Monolithic (MRP) to pass muster when it comes to consumer confusion... the way to think about it is because GM protectes Chevrolet, you are not going to be granted a trademark protection on a new car line called "Chevy." Oh, and PTO does disclose applications... |

"Monolithic" is a description and "The Monolith" is a name

Posted: 2/13/2006 6:17:48 PM EDT

I find it pretty intellectually dishonest and don't think it will hold up to any competent attorney. I also think that by using the "Monolith" LaRue is riding LMT's coat tails. Anyone have the video of Vanilla Ice explaining why his song was not ripping off David Bowie? |

Ok, we all know how you feel now. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I feel "enlightened". The LMT is called "The MRP". So how exactly is there any confusion between "The MRP" and "The Monolith? The MRP" uses switchable barrels and it appears that "The Monolith" will utilize off-the-shelf barrels. They are entirely two different birds. |

Hey Austin, I said nothing about patent, I was talking about "trademarks". I just can't believe that Carl would forget to trademark the term Monolith or Monolithic when developing his system. Either way, Mr. Lewis will be one pissed off cowboy! Regarding the design, will it be a solid construction, such as Colt or LMT, or will it be glued together? According to the people at vltor, they do some sort of brazing process? |

No, you don't know how I feel, obviously. If what you say is true about the physical attributes then the LaRue will be a better product, hands down. I like LaRue products and I will continue to buy them as I have been doing. However, by using the name "monolith" it will always seam like LaRue ripped off LMT, which I doubt they did. LMT came to market with the Monolithic Rail Platform first, LaRue needs to get their own name rather than trying to alter LMT's. |

WHEN "IT" COMES TO THE MARKET, IF YOU TAKE OFFENSE AT THE NAME, VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET AND JUST DON'T GET ONE. THAT WILL LEAVE MORE OF THEM FOR THE REST OF US. MOVING ON: I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ERIC KINCEL, BUT I THINK I DO KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT LARUE PRODUCTS. ON HIS PERSONAL SPR, YOU'LL FIND A LARUE 12.0 AND A LARUE SPR SCOPE MOUNT.
