Re: Heckler and Koch, Inc. vs. German Sport Guns GmbH, American Tactical Imports, Inc. Civil Action No. 1 : 09-cv-00039-WTL-JMS (S.D. Indiana)

For immediate release,

We are very pleased to report that the litigation filed by Heckler & Koch, Inc. against German Sport Guns GmbH and its U.S. distributor, American Tactical Imports, Inc., together with all counterclaims, has been settled.

The terms of the settlement are confidential to the parties and cannot be disclosed. A dismissal of the above-referenced litigation, and all of the party’s claims against each other, is expected to be filed in the near future.

Attorneys for H&K will be issuing a statement. The attorneys for ATI have already issued a statement announcing the settlement.

Production and importation of the original design GSG-5 ceased as of Oct, 8, 2009 with the signing of the agreement. The remaining inventory now in the USA can be sold by ATI, all distributors and dealers. ATI currently has GSG-5’s in stock.

All sales of the GSG-5 by ATI must conclude by January 31, 2010. ATI will continue to service every firearm that it imports into the USA.

Thank you for your support.
Anthony DiChario
President C.E.O.

"The GSG 5 is an identical replication of the MP 5, except one great thing: Its a 22 cal. Because of the low cost of ammunition the GSG 5 makes a perfect plinking rifle, training rifle or a serious varmint hunting rifle.

Nothing of its kind has ever been introduced in the United States. The user will be impressed with its weight and performance. If you are a varmint hunter you will be encouraged by all the options the GSG-5 has to offer with its railing system, faux suppressor and easy change magazine.
For training purposes, the GSG-5 is a low-cost alternative."

In terms of appearance, yes.

Sure, after I get one, they bite the dust. Does that make mine more valuable or less?
It is fun to shoot, guilt free.
It is not an exact copy of the MP-5 as someone stated. It does look like an MP-5.

It doesn't have to be an exact copy....Just approximate one.

Never mind the MAJOR error in that they widely marketed this product as being a "replication" (!) which is just crazy considering now as known in hind sight that they had no license in place with HK to allow such a facsimile.

This is no different than those people who make kit cars to approximate Ferrari automobiles.
Guess what...Ferrari goes after those people too, and those people know it.

Not even close. However, I guess the court thought otherwise.
Most people thought this was nothing more than a money grab by H&K.

Keep in mind that Colt tried this with Bushmaster and others, which was dismissed in court as well. Dismissal has already been filed for by ATI.
