On 31 Jan 2023, we received the notice from Kickstarter, telling us that our doubleBASS project page on Kickstarter has been removed from public view in response to a notice of copyright infringement received from Kimiya Shams — the lawyer who represents Devialet.

Fortunately, we were given the opportunity to contest the claim. Kickstarter temporary hid the project from public view while waiting for us to submit our proof.
Kickstarter has also forwarded us the letter from Devialet (they made a mistake on the date of the letter.)
Few days later, our lawyer responded to Kickstarter with the following letter.
Apparently Devialet lodged the same complaint to Indiegogo and caused our project page to be suspended too.
The sale of our speakers was affected, but our spirit remained strong. Lo and behold, just before the month of February concluded, we got the clearance from Kickstarter.
We want to take this opportunity to thank our supporters for sticking around, we wont be here without you!
To those who had doubted us, who said we copied Devialet, we hope this will clear the air once and for all, let us all be friends?
