For example, how can company's like Cannon, Sugihara, Oregon, etc. make guide bars specifically for Echo, or Husqvarna saws and even use the name Echo or Husqvarna on their websites, and the bar mount pattern is specifically for a particular model of saw. Why don't the aftermarket company's get sued?
On those same lines, how can a company like Sten make air filters for instance, that fit a specific model of Stihl or Echo? Is that copyright, trademark, or patent infringement?
Aftermarket manufacturers are making products that directly compete with the saw manufacturer and cut into the saw makers revenue. How are aftermarket company's able to do this?
