That’s pretty significant.

Wow even the courts have BRP's back. Brutal for the Cat dealers and anyone with a snowcheck for sure.

MAXWELL's head will probably explode now.

 

[skegpro]

Well I guess they will be getting a new chassis.

BRP sled prices just went up.

He would ha e to admit the chassis's were similar...

You know what's interesting is that Jeep just won against Mahindra in the US.

 

[ABMax24]

Maybe the Cat guys will finally get a new chassis...

But that really sucks they can't sell those sleds anymore. Lack of competition isn't good for any of us.

 

[maxwell]

i always said the Cat felt like a skidoo when you put the lay down post in it. Guess i was right LOL. It was just missing the power and quality.

What patent was infringed on? The geometry of the pyramidal frame?

What do you mean now? His head exploded a long time ago.

Polaris and Cat better tread lightly while trying to copy the FACTORY TURBO.

 

[GreyGhost]

I really hope this isn’t true. Would be such a shame to see them go but maybe it’ll be for the best. They might come back stronger then ever. Cat always built their sleds to be over built and generally good quality but being honest they need some huge improvements.

Can’t open it... maybe fake news?

There's precious little that BRP could patent. It must be a new innovative idea to qualify for a patent, it took BRP's engineers over 10 years to catch on to what the aftermarket was doing.

with all the money they saved on engineering, they could afford to beef it up a bit LOL

very very true. The alpha was cool but not nearly what they truly need to do to catch up to Polaris or doo

 

[niner]

Pretty sure Doo wants the Alpha skid, track,C tech engine and cat clutches. Those are the missing pieces for Doo to be a contender...

I had a good laugh... just not surprised at the outcome. The patent lawyers did ok I'm sure....
