Is PTP wrong in what they've done regarding a pneumatic trigger?

[bunker17]

okay there is nothing better to talk in AO so im coming back into the fight i was just wondering is there anyone rich in the AO community who could just invest in this and work the deal with PTP

slarty,

I'm not embarrassed about that language at all. In fact, I'm pretty proud of this patent - both its broad scope and the specificity of each of the individual embodiments.

The broadest claim, which you find most objectionable, was re-worded to its current form at the request of and with the assistance of the PTO.

A trigger return spring is well known in the art and would most definately not be covered by this application.

Sorry, but there are still things out there that I can't discuss (I am beholden to certain obligations to PTP despite the fact that I am no longer working there.)

You will find, over time, despite what you have read, that this patent deals with solid, working embodiments and is far from the vagueness of some of the SP grants.

Being hamstrung as I am by not being able to tell the whole story, I will go back to my original statement that I am no longer commenting on this subject.
