Many of you are aware by now of the recent legal actions that retailer Backcountry.com has taken against small businesses and non-profit organizations, like BDR, who use the generic word “Backcountry” in their name. Follow the link to read the latest developments on this matter. We hope to see our case resolved amicably in the near future. Thank you for the overwhelming support we’ve gotten from the BDR community already.
