I thought Ineos had a patent application on this?PowerfulUK a company that supplies some quite cool New Defender accessories is making a kit to add utility belt rails to the New Defender. How ironicView attachment 7803718
I think it bolts into fittings designed for their fold down ladder and their lunchbox thingy so might be ok
Not sure how you could patent L-Track positioning. L-Track is widely used in all sorts of applications. The track itself may or may not be patented but pretty sure it’s positioning couldn’t be. They may have a trademark on the naming of it as utility belt when used on the exterior of a car though.
L Track was originally design for aircraft carriers to securing loads, etc.
And I'm not sure how LR could be in breach since it's PowerfulUK that's the accessory company.
Damn that's dodgy.
Also getting galvanic corrosion on the bolts quite quickly. Which does raise the question how have INEOS secured the track?
Dissimilar metals...plain steel screws into aluminium railing. A stainless steel fastener is also problematic however, there are coatings available from a ship's chandlery to coat the stainless steel screw before it is fixed through the aluminium. The Ineos solution has probably addressed this with specially coated fasteners.
Not disagreeing with you but
