The AirSplat saga continues. But before I go on with the story, I’m a confused. If you remember last January, AirSplat announced a closing down sale as they said they have been acquired by a distributor and will be a subsidiary instead. Until now, I do not know yet details of the new owners of AirSplat.com. If somebody can contact us with more information, then I am all ears.

Now, we have been sent a link of a company named “The Wuster” suing the following the companies in the Georgia Northern District Court:

• Apex Global Trading Co., Ltd.
• Jia Dyi Enterprise Co., Ltd.
• KWA Performance Industries, Inc.
• Lone Wolf Distributors, Inc.
• Palco Marketing, Inc.
• Spartan Imports
• WE Tactical Training Ltd., Co.
• Ye Kai Enterprise Co., Ltd.

The Wuster, is represented by Wellborn & Wallace, LLC and the case is about Diversity-Breach of Contract. This means that those involved in the lawsuit are from different states with the amount involved to be over US$75,000.00. There are no further details that can be gleamed from the link as we need a PACER account to access the court document, which unfortunately, we don’t have.

The last time we encounter the name “The Wuster”, is that the company is a defendant in lawsuit filed by Glock against AirSplat in 2014 in the same district which we also reported. This is still ongoing and according to Georgia IP Litigation the case filed by Glock shows the following names all known to be related to AirSplat.

On February 26, Glock, Inc. (“Glock”) filed a 44-page complaint against Kent De-Hui a/k/a Kent Wu a/k/a Keat D. Wu a/k/a Kenneth Wilson, May-Fong Chu, a/k/a May Chu a/k/a May Fun Chu, a/k/a Mian Chu a/k/a Mary Schwarz, The Wuster, Da Wuster, Inc., Da Wuster Corp., Wuster & Chewy LLC (California), Wuster & Chewy LLC (Washington), The Wuster Inc., XYZ Corporations 1-10, and ABC Limited Liability Companies 1-10 (collectively “AirSplat”), alleging patent infringement, federal trade dress infringement, federal trademark infringement, federal false designation of origin and false advertising, federal dilution, common law trade dress and trademark infringement, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and unjust enrichment, disgorgement and constructive trust for Airsplat's manufacture, importation, and sale of unauthorized replica airsoft guns.  Glock seeks injunctive relief, damages, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees.

Is the case against the companies related to the Glock case? This is what I can speculate about, as these companies have airsoft products that are based on the Glock design. In case The Wuster/AirSplat loses the case and coughs up payment for the damages that will be determined, this lawsuit might be a way to cover the losses somehow.

Please do take note that this is all speculation. We will try to find out more about this. This time, we find that Cybergun is at the receiving end of this lawsuit as it owns two companies that are being sued: Spartan Imports and Palco Marketing Inc. Also Cybergun now has a license the manufacture airsoft Glocks but only for the MIL/LE training sector.

Stay tuned...
