There is some kind of conflict in Sweden between Zeiss and Samyang regarding the latest Samyang Premium XP lenses for Canon EF mount:
The distributor in Sweden, Focus Nordic, has contacted all shops in Sweden to stop selling the Samyangs XP lenses and return the existing inventory back to Focus Nordic - it seems that the issue is the similar outside design with the latest Zeiss lenses:
Focus Nordic has announced to all its dealers that Samyang's 50 mm and 85 mm lens in the premium series XP will cease to be sold. The reason is a conflict with Zeiss.
Inspired or copied? seems to be a core issue in the dispute about how Samyang designed its premium lenses in the XP series. The two objections that the dispute concerns, and which ends selling are:
Samyang Premium XP 50mm f/1.2
Samyang Premium XP 85mm f/1.2Dealers are advised to immediately remove the products from their websites and return the items in stock.
