well, for those seeking more info, I know of a guy named Ed who has flied for an account to access the 9th district federal court case files in Portland, OR. It's close to free (7 cents a page for access I think), but it just takes some time to process. Once he has it, I'm sure he'll let us all in on the specific details of the case. Then you can see pretty much whatever is released officially reguarding this thing...

I just got off the phone with Bill Gardner, Sr. the president of Smart Parts. He was very open about the patent issue.
They are pursuding two specific manufacturers for patent violations ICD and now a part of the WDP design (Angels).
The patent is not as broad as is being reported.

So Bill Gardner is being "very open about the patent".

But then DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY HE IS SUING ICD AND WDP.
SO THIS IS LIE #1

Then it completely contradicts the statement from SPESH.
SO ThIS IS LIE #2.

So until SP comes forward and actually tells us what there intentions are, then I have to assume they are going to contunue to lie to us.

So, in a way you helped confirm the worst for us!!

Couldn't this patent be considered a Monopoly???? I know very little about monopolies and stuff but I thought that is what sp is doing.

At least if all electros get banned or something, we 'Mag' users already have the BEST manual guns!!!

Why wouldn't it?

lower sales of their current products and lower the residual value of the products already sold (so people don't want to buy new?)

You don't think that wouldn't effect SP any?
