Genuino Brand

[CrossRoads]

4 pages of stuff too. Lot of stuff being sold as Arduino.org that is just reselling of other manufacturers tho.

Isn't that copyright infringement? .cc has the US, correct?

[testato]

Untill the legal judgement willl not arrive there is no infringment.

[ChrisTenone]

Untill the legal judgement willl not arrive there is no infringment.

I don't think that is how US copyright law works.

[testato]

so why it is possible ?

i think that in US also, stop the sell of a product it is not an automatic procedure after a lawsuit.
Company lawyers should ask to the judge to block the opponent products ?

but i'm not an US citizen so it is only my 2cent

Does there was a definitive judgment in USA ?
There was a first in Italy, won by Arduino SRL, Arduino LLC has appealed, so it is not definitive.
 But I have not read that judgment was given in the US.

You can track the progress of this on:

The latest delay puts the start of the hearing for sometime after 15 September 2016.

Why are there Two Arduino Development Environment one for the USA and one for the rest of the World.
What is the difference and WHY ?

[Robin2]

What is the difference and WHY ?

The why is because the Arduino founders have had a falling-out and are suing each other.

Lots of other stuff about this elsewhere in the Forum - probably even in this Thread if you take the trouble to read it.

[CrossRoads]

Yes.

[Robin2]

Basically, Genuino is Arduino in the rest of the world due to Arduino Srl? And in the USA it is known as Arduino?

The two sides in the dispute have now made friends again.

That being the case, will we continue to see the "Genuino" brand?

Wait until end of January :

Well, if I want to buy a Lilypad or an Esplora I won't be able to do it if I am not buying inside US?! Well that's such a bummer...it leaves loyal customers outside US without nice projects to develop if wanted to do it with their reliable brand...somebody can help clarify this? Thanks! Happy DIYing to everyone!
