Looks like Glen Palmer might throw his hat in ...

[slasherdan]

I wonder ...

I wonder if he patented the stuff he mentions.

I'm curious as to what sort of trouble WGP has created for him and other small companies in the past that he mentioned.

Waiting to see if he jumps on and lets me know!!!

It feels good to know that people are standing up for what is truely their's even though they could loose a substantial amount of money over this. I give much credit to Glenn for standing up to a company such as K2/WGP, and of course, inventing the "auto-cocking sytem".

It's about time Glenn spoke up for himself since, allegedly, Jeff Orr stole the only working prototype"Autococker"(Camille) from Glenns luggage.

Here ya all go.

[DiSoRdeR]

What will result from this? I understand what it is saying, but do not know what will happen...

[teufelhunden]

Typos/etc. always make for a professional letter.

[WARPED1]

Maybe Glenn will finally get the credit he desearves for inventing the "Autococker".................

[Dayspring]

It's like this...

Smart Parts is going around saying "We have a patent and were the first people to use electronics to fire a paintball gun. Nobody else can use it without paying us $." Imagine if somebody comes up and says "Guess what, I did it before you did; your patent is bogus, pay ME $."

Glenn is doing that to K2. If he presses it, he can invalidate all of K2's lawsuits against all these other people b/c K2 says "We did the first auto-cocking system." And Glenn's sitting there going "Think again."

Wow... now I have a little more insite to the matter.. I'm starting to reconsider my stance on autocockers. Damn should have bought that ULE when I was considering my purchases or the blazer. Hmmm might have an '03 VF cocker for sale soon. I knew there was some backstabbing in this industry. But I have never known the extent of it. Been playing for 18 years and I'm still learning something every day. Give them hell Glenn.

[WARPED1]

I'm sure Glenn has all the dates he invented the system recorded somewhere. I really hope Glenn sticks it to K2...............

[Lohman446]

I think this was a shot across the bow (sp)... basically a comment to back off rather than a threat of pending legal acton

[punkncat]

Glenn is about to hold them over a fire and ROAST some _ _ _.

This whole thing is really rediculous. All these years everyone has been copying everyone else , just doing what they could to get their piece of the pie. No one saw fit to patent their products or to enforce the patents if they had them. Everyone was doing well based on their merits as a company and customer loyalty. Those that sucked didn't make it.

Leave it to a lawyer to mess up a good thing.


GO GLENN !

[Brophog]

I don't think he has any plans to push it. Glenn isn't after money or fame, if he was, he'd have pushed the subject a long time ago. He just wants K2 to realize that they, in trying to force other people out for intellectual property that they do not have, are wrong, and as such, K2 needs to realize this and cease.

That's all that letter is trying to do.
