I think Ruger did something similar last year when it after RIA/Armscor.

Ruger better be careful, lest Colt sue them over their Blackhawk and Vaquero copies of the famous Single Action Army. And their 1911 models.
And Kel-Tec might sue them for their LCP copies of the P3AT.

I'm amazed that the patent hasn't expired on the 10/22.

If this is over the Model 597 I see little if any similarity to Ruger's 10-22. Sounds like Remington has a product that people are buying and Ruger can't stand the competition.

Ruger is suing S&W which owns Thompson Center over their 10/22 clone (called TCR/22). TC advertises that the TCR/22 accepts 10/22 magazines and most 10/22 accessories

Wait a second...
Isn't this the same Ruger that blatantly COPIED the Kel-Tec P3AT when they released their LCP 380 ? ? ?
Oh I see, it's OK for them to do it.........................

Re: Ruger takes Smith & Wesson to court over its iconic .22-caliber rifle
Considering how many companies have built accessories designed specifically for, and advertised as fitting the 10-22, I'm surprised Ruger would sue anyone? And Volquartzen built a copy of the 10-22 long ago, and started a business out of making 10-22 accessories and advertising them.
Is Ruger that desperate for money that they need more from S&W? I would think they'd be flattered that S&W used a design that accepted Ruger accessories?
