Was talking to a Kubota dealer and he made a point the Kioti was in big trouble because of a lawsuit. What's up?

Good question. I was talking to a Kubota parts guy in Dallas last week, and he said the same thing. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Probably a mixture of sour grapes and wishful thinking.
I believe Kubota is suing Kioti over their use of "Kubota Orange" and other alleged infringments. Bet the Kioti dealers don't think they are in big trouble. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ya the law suit is over the use of the color. but Kubota just now decides to sue over it. Kioti has been in the US for quite a while with the same color as Kubota and Kubota hasn't said a thing.. i think Kubota realizes the competition that Kioti is giving them. I don't think Kubota has a leg to stand on. I am a dealer for Kioti and we aren't worried about it at all.

Allis Chalmers should sue Kubota for using their "Prussian Orange". /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

According to what I've read, attempts to settle out of court were unsuccessful, so I'd be inclined to think that Kubota must have said a thing or two before filing the lawsuit. But of course, I don't know enough about the lawsuit to have any opinion either way as to the merits of the case.

I don't think there has been much, or any movement in the suit. A Google search revealed little more than this link:

The details are in the second article from the bottom.

AC's Prussian Orange is a slightly different shade of orange than Kubota's Orange II. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
