The patent dispute

[wjr]

There have been tons of threads talking about the pneuframe patent. I've never heard what was actually patented though. Does anyone have the patent number or know what was patented?

Also what did smart parts patent?

[paintman1234]

smart parts patented everything.... but really they have the electropneuatic gun, ad a bunch of other stuff

you could do some poking around and find all the info you need, a bunch of companies went out of buissness or were screwed over by sp. Some people say it was a jerk thing to do others thought of it as a good buissness tactics

SP patented the electronic firing system, basically if a switch is used to fire the gun, SP gets $
here are some links to pdf's of the official documents i squirreled away a while ago.

The pneumatic patent is part of a larger Assisted Trigger Patent.

Just do a quick search for that and it should be in the top few results.

k, for the pneumag frame in question, the patent went to Colin. Now, when he finally did get the patent, there was just not a big enough following to logically take the steps to make the frames. By now, most have figured out how to make them DIY, or have moved on and just dont care. So its still owned by Deadly Wind, but the hAIR trigger just failed to launch

The "Patent" didn't go to Colin. Colin applied for and a got different and seperate Patent on more specific area of the invention. One could only speculate , but should a infringement case ever go to court , the PTP/K2 patent would still predate his.

The WDP v. SP scoop

Its kind of interesting (especially coming from PBN) and it is true to my knowledge (the Dr. Hensel mentioned in the article is a professor of mine).

ok people... he's just talking about the mech assisted trigger patent (hAir trigger). Enough of all this SP patent talk.

[the mag guy]

i liked the WDP article. its good to see SP getting bent over and taking it....lol

Where do you people get this stuff?



How about nobody posts an answer unless they are 100% positive that it is true.

In this case, that pretty much eliminates everyone but Jay, Colin, Rabidchuaua, and a couple of others.

Come on guys, you all are better than this. PBN is where people use facts*.


* - Meaning crap they just made up on the spot, or heard from the friend of a friend of a friend in the staging area.
