Fa-Hsing Lu v Hyper Bicycles, Inc., 568 F. Supp. 3d 68

With a selection varying from Training Bikes to Cruisers, BMX bikes and Mountain Bikes, our range has something suitable for everyone. Light, stiff, rolling is out of this world, they look the dogs…and they are under a third of the price of some of the big brands. A performance wheelset designed to offer the best bang for your buck.

John and Ryan are bringing Strength back to life for 2012, via an innovative frame constructed out of magnesium. You old schoolers will remember that magnesium has been used a few times in BMX racing’s history–most famously in the breakthrough Mongoose Motomags of the 1970s and 80s. John Sawyer and Ryan Birk welcomed customers and media into a private hospitality suite, where their plans for 2012 were discussed openly and freely, and with a “this is gonna be AWESOME” kind of energy. It’s remarkable that, only 12 months ago, a chance meeting on the way out of the show was what brought John into the then-ailing Answer BMX picture as its new owner. Barely 365 days later, it could not be a more different situation, and THAT is one of the wonders of the face-to-face business that is done at conferences like Interbike. Notwithstanding the seemingly-valid argument on seeing the new products via Skype, that last point should not be minimized in any way.

At an affordable price, it’s equipped with a powerful electric pedal-assist motor and a 26-inch mountain bike frame. This cutting-edge equipment provides a great way for riders to travel faster, farther, and more comfortably than ever before. “To be back with Hyper is a great opportunity that I’m very excited about to, say the least,”said E.C.. “To be handed the keys to the castle with the task of building a high end line of hyper bike mountain bikes for the Hyper brand is both a big responsibility and honor. I will still be on the bike at all scheduled events but my role will be more directed toward educating riders about our products and growing the brand at a grass roots level, rather than focusing solely on results”. The ‘842 and ’642 patents are both design patents which pertain to bicycles and, in particular, the ornamental design of two bicycles.

All the freestyle goodies popular with that crowd, as well as the Elite hubs and classic Profile chromo cranks that racers of all ages put on their Santa list. While still hangin with Bill, we got some skinny on the weight-loss plan the 2012 Envy will be showin when it hits the track soon. Envy will stay at $499 for anodized colors and $549 for the mirror-polish (sunglasses not included).

I’m looking for a cheap (i.e. about this price) ebike for food deliveries as I’m tired of pedaling up and down hills all day long. I can’t afford anything expensive (over ~$1K) unfortunately… The Court adopts this construction without prejudice to its ultimate jury instruction on functional versus ornamental elements or any other related factors.

Defendant rejoins that a verbal construction of claims explicitly excluding functional elements, as it has proposed, is more appropriate. It observes that the Federal Circuit in Egyptian Goddess stated that it may be helpful for the court to point out various features of the claimed design as they relate to the accused design and the prior art. 543 F.3d at 680. It then cites Lanard Toys, Ltd. v. Dolgencorp, LLC, a case in which the Federal Circuit, reviewing the verbal construction of a design patent, approvingly concluded that the lower court had followed the Egyptian Goddess standard “to a tee”. Defendant submits that Lanard controls the present case, or at least provides more authoritative guidance than DePaoli and Reddy. Hyper Bicycles has a long history in the sport of BMX, including a National Pro Championship in 1993, delivered by Eric Carter. This early success helped to establish Hyper as a major player in BMX.

The 32 years old brand is mainly known for the production of components, high-end competitive BMX frames. The founder, Clay Goldsmid, was himself a former BMX pro. After a great success in the BMX field and a first convincing experience in the mass market bike industry. The brand decided to enter the world of mountain biking with one of their first sponsored athletes during the BMX era, Eric Carter, who had converted to mountain biking after a successful BMX career. We have over a decade’s experience designing and building carbon fiber race bikes.

As acknowledged by Judges Young and Woodlock, however, in Reddy and DePaoli, it would be well within the Court’s discretion to provide some verbal construction at a reduced level of detail than that proposed by defendant. In analyzing a patent infringement action, the Court must 1) determine the meaning and scope of the patent claims asserted to be infringed and 2) compare the properly construed claims to the infringing device. Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 52 F.3d 967, 976 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (en banc), aff’d, 517 U.S. 370, 116 S.Ct. The first step, known as claim construction, is an issue of law for the court to decide. Having said that, the Hyper Bikes that we are discussing may not necessarily be built by Hyper Bicycles though.

But if this is the first time you are going to hop on a bicycle, then there’s a real risk of an injury or a mishap. The Pandemic has single-handedly managed to revive cycling as a mainstream mobility option. Cycling blows your rigorous everyday commute out of the water. It lets you get outdoors and connect with the environment.

Colors will be Red, Blue, Black and Polished, and price point at about $49.
