And your basis for this statement is?

Well, there's no reason to go after Gen-E now. DYE owns the Matrix, and they already settled with SP.

Dye sure did make an argeement, but Gen-E is still it's own company, Dye just owns the rights. Am I correct in this statement?

Amazeing....this is terrible news to me as I am a ICD fan. Now that they are making an agreement can they still take this to court again? If I understand this correctly, then shouldn't other companies at risk from Smartparts help out ICD as this case can be used in the future againist other companies? Heh enlighten me, for I don't like law much even though my mom is an assistant attorney general and my dad is a judge

O well. It doesnt change my view of smart parts. i still like smart parts products, i dont like their business practices.

Couple minutse later, works for me


I wonder how many companies they are going to roll through until someone puts up a fight.

Dye owns the rights to make their version of the matrix (aka the Dye Cockers) but they do nOT own the company

oh, and SP prolly could knock down AGD if that was their desire...although maybe it would be a blessing in disguise for AGD (would put an end to endless waiting lines for X-Mags)

with Dye, NPS, and ICD giving into the SP claim, that leaves namely kingman and BE left to put up a serious stop to SP.

and BE has recieved notices from SP to cease making electro markers, but BE thus far has stood strong and will continue to make markers until a court tells them they can't

nah what am I saying.... I'm only playing pump now!!!

Sp needs to put a Removed - cphilip in it and grow up. They're just jealous because ICD's guns own them in every aspect. Not nice thing to say - cphilip. This is such BS.

well...my basis is this:

It would be a sad day to see my favorite company lose. i mean i'm used to beating SP products in the field, and AGD beats them in quality...it would be out of character for AGD to lose in court.

i think maybe my statement is simply my way of saying i stand behing AGD, and it would suck if it happened.

I had to read that a couple times this afternoon, and I still don't get it. They don't make it clear whether they LOST in court or they just GAVE UP and signed an agreement.


Settlement Agreement - That leads you to assume they lost in court.

Now this makes it sound like there was a preliminary hearing where ICD lost (a warmup court appearance).

This agreement means that ICD can no longer defend against SP. All arguments are denied. It almost sounds like it may be a court precident right there. Hope not!

There are so few smart parts workers, and so many angry paintball players. Yet we sit behind our computers and whine about it? Lets go kick some arse!

[jayloo]

This sucks...as if paintball was not already expensive.

What will all of this do to prices ... not just electro markers but all paintball products?
