Website update and Licensees list 05/13/2006
We are happy to present this new version of the www.inflatablekite.com site, coupled with the www.bowkite.com site.
You will find there in particular downloadable copies of all the Legaignoux patents and a press-book of old articles (translations will soon be available)

We use this opportunity to give a progress report on the BOW patents :

Licensees
Here is the current list of the Licensees of the BOW kite patents:
- TAKOON

Take care to purchase your BOW kite from one of these brands. Their BOW kites have a Certificate of Authenticity sewn on.

Infringers
Although we owe the BOW kite revolution to the Legaignoux brothers whose DW holds the patents, several brands produce kites according to the BOW principle but refuse to take a licence under various pretexts.
DW will not leave this situation as it is and already actively prepares the legal battle against the infringers. :shock:

my slingshot td has the Legaignoux patents badge on the wingtip,
any others been overlooked. (best lol)

Waroo isn't a bow just like the Naish Shockwave and the other SLE kites :roll:

that's right an SLE... different to the bow kites.

Well the web site was up dated on the 13th of May, maybe others have decided to pay their dues since, but read the patent files as some may have a battle on there hands with Dimond White!!!! :oops:
