I don't think this has been posted here if so forgive me. Thought this was worth sharing, and this was taken from:

RPM is an LLC started in 1997 owned and operated solely by Rick Fuqua. RPM has remained a successful manufacturer, seller and servicer of screen printing equipment for nearly 14 years.
RPM recently settled a legal dispute with M&R Printing Equipment, Inc. on terms wholly satisfactory to both parties. This settlement gives RPM the undisputed rights to utilize certain features on its RPM Revolution, but no other seller of machines that might be similar to the Revolution is granted any rights to use these features.
Next, RPM’s vendor and exclusive contractual relationships were recently compromised in an unethical and unlawful manner by another party, to the substantial detriment of RPM and the market place. These actions will not be tolerated, nor will they affect RPM’s continued existence and success.
RPM continues in business with no plans or agreements to sell or to authorize any company or person to represent itself as an RPM agent or replacement entity. Any person or business representing a product or products similar to RPM’s with the complete digital / electronic features, including the features licensed from M&R, the totality of which make the RPM Revolution unique in the market, would be in violation of the above mentioned rights and agreements between RPM and M&R. Those rights will be aggressively enforced against all infringing parties, and notice thereof is hereby given to any purchasers of such products.
