Conceptis Puzzles (Dave Green) informs
Strimko authors (The Grabarchuk Family) that
Conceptis decided to add Strimko to Conceptis portfolio
under another name, and can create such puzzles by
themselves. Strimko authors answer that they are ready
to negotiate flexibly all possible terms and conditions.
Conceptis does not make any partnership proposals to
Strimko authors. The negotiations failed. Strimko
authors warned Conceptis that if Conceptis use Strimko
(under any name) with the same features, Strimko authors
will understand that as a direct and clear infringement
of Strimko authors' intellectual property rights. |

Misappropriating Strimko Puzzle! |

use without any authorization or licence from its creators
