Trijicon suing Holosun

I think Trijicon is stretching it a little far if I’m reading it right. The holosun definitely does not appear to be a knock off of the Trijicon. As far as patent yada yada optical sight, unless there’s some technology that holosun out and out copied, good luck Trijicon. I think that unless they can show that holosun did indeed reverse engineer their optic they have a weak case. Even in terms of controls, there are similarities between many of the scads of holographic sights on the market, and all those are knock offs of the original holographic sight (C-more?). As far as location of the controls, there’s not a lot of options there. That’s pretty weak as well. If they can prove that Holosun has duplicated their product and is able to sell it for less than half the price, what does that say about Trijicon?
If I remember correctly, Trijicon was the first company to produce commercial tritium night sights. Meprolight exactly copied the technology, glass vials filled with radioactive glow pressed into the face of a steel sight. Did they do so before or after the patent ran out?
I don’t see enough of a smoking gun from the info in the article. Maybe we will learn more as this thing progresses. But unless it’s as it and dried as the sigma/glock trigger, I don’t think Holosun will lose. It will cost them a bunch of money regardless.
