“Nato strap” term trademarked.
Don’t know if anyone has heard. apparently som despicable person has trademarked the term “nato strap“. they are now forcing companies, and sellers to pay a licensing fee. This has forced some to shut down, and others to comply, or adapt. not much can be down I imagine. but I just figured I’d share this ridiculousness. cheers all

I say we get ahold of that jerk, cut off his extra flap, and make him a single pass!
(not actually proposing violence/forced body modification)
Appreciate the thought. This news was shared a cpl days ago, which prompted me to buy a bunch of straps from Cheapest NA.. er CNS.

This sucks so much and I feel terrible for any small businesses who may not be able fight back. Sad.
The guy who did that will forever be known as a massive wanker in the watch community. Oh and his straps are garbage, too.
Either one of them's a stoat-the-baw and a crook, or the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and one of them is a stoat-the-baw, and the other's a crook.
I won’t lie. I am pretty confused by your reply 😅. sorry about that
Incredible that it is even possible to trademark such a term as "Nato strap"
Maybe the guys at CWC who actually sell G10 straps to the UK MOD could ask some friends at the Royal Marines Commando to sort this out ;-)
Looking at his website ... that troll will probably go down by himself.
Oh no worries lol. Thank you for explaining to me
