Cadex & Remington vs FN America Patent Infringment
I was doing some in depth research on the variations of the REMINGTON RACS vs CADEX RIFLE CHASSIS SYSTEM variations and happened across some mention that in 2013 Cadex Inc and Remington Arms filed a patent infringement lawsuit against FNH USA for the FN Ballista Sniper Rifle.
First off you read the above correct. Cadex Defence and Remington sued FNH. Cadex and Remington worked collectively to develop the Remington XM2010 and Remington MSR. The roots of those sniper rifles are visible in Cadex own product line. Eventually the two parted ways and Remington went down their own path with variations of those original chassis based precision sniper rifles.
