Uh oh. It would appear that Magpul has filed a lawsuit claiming "Patent Infringement against Elite Tactical Systems Group, LLC."

I'm running 2 of these mags and they WAY exceeded my expectations. I figured they'd be mushy like Lancers, but they're NICE.
I've been inside and out of these mags and can't find ANY aspect that leads me to believe they anything like the magpul pmag. The follower, the body, the base plate system.... none of it looks like Magpul's parts to me. Magpul's comments have been very vague... "geometry", etc.
Well if whatever they allegedly stole is patented, why not give specifics?

Hello guys,
Just so it doesn't look like we are avoiding talking about it, we really can't speak about the lawsuit at this point because we just don't have enough info at this time.
Thanks for everyone's support and kind words. It really means a lot to us...

Wrong...
Wrong again...
Patents are, and should be as vague as they can be written. The patent for the PMag is no exception. ETS Group shouldn't be the least bit surprised that a suit was brought by Magpul. Prediction: ETS loses... badly.

Magpul can eat a bag of dicks. I won't buy another one of their products, and not just because of this.

I'm not so sure about that. They sued Promag and 3 other companies a year ago and Promag is still selling mags which means Magpul wasn't successful in preventing them from doing so. I just looked up Magpul's patents and they are quite specific. The main patent also includes 17 images. Most likely some kind of compromise will be reached and perhaps some small changes to the ETS mags will be made. I don't see this lawsuit shutting down ETS production. I have looked up the lawsuit to see what Magpul is claiming for the patent infringements and checked the text of it. It's extremely vague and doesn't actually specifically list what is being claimed as infringements. All it does is list the 3 patents that Magpul says have been infringed upon but not specifically how Magpul feels they have been infringed.
We're on your side ETS.
Magpul themselves have been sued over patent infringements so, I have a feeling that this is going to get worked out.Freedom is NEVER Free. We have to work to protect it and even be willing to die to protect it.

With the market saturated with AR mags now, ETS has their work cut out for them. Pmags can be found for about $9, so the $18 price-point with the ETS mags will be challenging. If a larger dealer networks opens up, I'm sure we will see lower retail pricing.

Thanks again guys for the support. We will get this worked out, and we will still be making mags.
