Lawsuit Alert: Palmetto State Armory v. Shield Arms

[Talyn]

What Started This?​

Shield Arms is best known for its S15 magazines, which add five rounds of capacity to the Glock 43X and 48.

The PSA Dagger series of striker-fired pistols is compatible with Glock parts, including magazines. Recently, they introduced the Dagger Micro, which is compatible with G43X/48 parts. Rather than use the 10-round Glock factory magazine or the Shield Arms S15, PSA created their own 15-round magazine.

However, Shield Arms had previously patented their magazine design. United States Patent 11,747,102 “Increased Capacity Ammunition Magazine” covers the steel magazine design. Counsel for Shield Arms sent a letter to PSA regarding the potential patent violation.

Change 1 part and all of the sudden it's different? If you grt vague enough or over spec a design you have more room for leisure. This make close to duplicating the design more difficult.

Looks like every other high capacity magazine, what makes theirs special?
