FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Greetings from AKA-low pressure experts. We want to wish all of our paintball family and the paintball community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you this coming year.

This is new news but probably not unexpected. Smart Parts has filed a
patent infringement lawsuit against AKA relating to electronic control of paintball guns.

AKA believes that Smart Parts claims have no merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
Best wishes for the new year.

No matter which way it goes, isn't it in poor taste to do something like this so close to Christmas? Couldn't they let AKA enjoy the holiday without something like this hanging over their heads?

I agree, this is a horrible thing to do so close to christmas...

[Ginjiroku]

Sure! Remember that Smart Parts served Bob Long minutes before a game at the Philadelphia PSP event. That is why I so hoped for The Assassins to win it all and not the Philly Americans.

Where's WARPED1 for his commentary?

[FalconGuy016]

No, this isnt the same as last time. They are fighting back

[WARPED1]

If the only place you saw that was on PBN, I have ocean front property in North Dakota to sell you

[Mango]

I hate smart parts. To do such a thing before the holidays. I mean really.

SUPPORT

If AGD, WGP, WDP, and the other major companies were smart, they'd financially support AKA's fight because if SP wins they're screwed and it's worth it to fight this time and aim to win. If you keep thinking only of your company SP is going to plow through, one by one, and you'll be screwed eventually. But I'm sure you have a gameplan already.

[Miscue]

Well, hopefully they won't just roll over and settle.
