PTP and Smart Parts in a race for the patent to the Quick-Release feedneck

[RogueFactor]

Smart Parts:

PTP:

If PTP is successful, and can enforce their patent, it will have a priority date that precedes Smart Parts.

Read the good stuff, and post your thoughts.

How is a clamping feedneck patientable?

Patients should be used for real inventions, not just everyday upgrades.

/introducing the new and improved threaded hopper. This hopper allows your marker to work without a feedneck.

How is using electricity in a paintball gun patentable? Dont know, but Smart Parts did it.

Soon, even thinking about paintball will require you to pay a royalty. :rofl:

Check out the technology industry. They patent things like method of clicking on a URL or device that stores MP3s. Our patent system is horribly broken/outdated.

I would have alum hoppers first. Unfortuently you would only sell one to everyone, instead of 10s. Business wise it is not a good invention/investment. One day I will do it tho. Assuming someone doesnt beat me to it.

HAHA But I heard that someone patented blue pump mags. Be prepared for your 'cease and desist" (SP) letter.

Also keep your eyes out for a press release on 68 cal regarding the situation.

[craltal]

if i'm reading it correctly, they both could patents. ptp's is for the type with the screw down collar while sp is going for the lever style...

PTP already received their patent for the screw down collar. This Application is a Continuation in Part to include the "lever".
