K2 Inc to Enforce Autococker

K2 Inc. Announces Immediate Campaign to Enforce
Autococker® Intellectual Property.

 

Carlsbad, CA, May 6, 2004: K2 Inc. (NYSE:KTO) announces an immediate and
aggressive campaign enforcing the acquired intellectual property rights of
Worr Game Products (WGP) including the premium paintball markers
incorporating its proprietary Autococker® technology.


K2 Inc. intends to vigorously protect its investment as well as WGP's
rights by taking action against imitators who violate those rights. K2
Inc. will promptly investigate all reports it receives of customer
confusion, warranty representation, and illegal importation of substandard
or knock-off products. K2 Inc. will take all necessary remedial action to
swiftly terminate transgressions upon its intellectual property rights.

Bud Orr, President of WGP in explaining this action to custom product
manufacturers and players alike stated, "Our intent is to protect our
customers from being misled by non-genuine Autococker® product falsely
presented in the market place. We are going to aggressively pursue all
companies that we feel are manufacturing, marketing or distributing
non-WGP premium markers as the Autococker® brand or look."

K2 Inc. looks forward to continuing WGP's long-standing relationships with
responsible custom product manufacturers. Bud Orr reiterated, "Our company
wants to make sure that players have the opportunity to experience genuine
Autococker® brand markers including those from our approved custom
manufacturers."
