Found a copy of Malibu's suit on the NSS system

again, why would Malibu be suing Nautique over a "flap" that MC has been using before Mailbu introduced Surfgate? Just seems like MC has a better claim against Malibu than Malibu has against Nautique. Maybe MC never tried to patent their surf tabs but why would they, they're just regular, run-of-the-mill trim tabs.

Because sanger did it before MC?

Well there you go. Just goes to show you that Malibu's claim has even less merit.

This thread came right to mind when I saw that Supra launched their "Swell" surf system this past week. Malibu has a much stronger case against Supra than CC. It's the same design just different placement.
