Interesting.

Aren't Cadex nailers that green color too ?

The t-locs aren't branded with a tanos/festool logo so I can't really see a big issue there.

The Festool Green latches were at one time exclusively for Festool products and could only be obtained thru Festool.  I know this because when I did the Fogtainer project years ago I had to get special permission from the highest levels at Festool in Germany to get the green latches thru Tanos.

It appears that times have changed.

Perhaps they licensed the green latch? Or it is a violation and there will be litigation.  [tongue]

Cadex Green is very similar to Festool Green, just a mite more yellowish. But in the standard colours systems for plastics (for example Pantone, a widely used industry standard), there are limited variations of certain colours, especially greens and browns. Hence, perhaps, the 'identical' green latch.

Note that in some countries design trademarks do not cover colours.
 
Special permission from Festool was obtained as Tanos who make the Systainer cases are a unit of the same company that Festool is part of. No litigation coming.
 
So they (Festool / TTS) doesn't see this as competition for their Schneider A911000 ?

TTS sold Schneider so it's no longer a part of the TTS holdings.
