So is the big war on who owns what patents over yet? Seems like majority of markers use the same operation principles (poppet/spool) so is it just considered common knowledge yet? If the patents have all run out and the technology is all considered common knowledge, the merger( read: buyout) of Kee by GI sports shouldn't effect new innovation should it arise....
Just looking for discussion really, I know there are some here who are more versed on the patents than other forums, not to mention the members here are a little more mature than another forum and I might actually get real answers.
