How soon?, something's always rotten in Denmark when the sycophants hit the hype offensive before the "facts are known".
Viewed from above or independently the actions of both parties are bad for Paintball; to varying degrees of course.

Not really impatient, I've checked all the packages under the tree, and I'm pretty sure none of them contain a new Range Rover but I digress.
I hope that justice does prevail in the patent case, however so many people are caught up in the PR war and that SP is destroying Paintball hoopla, they and others are losing touch with reality.

Got a scoop/event?
Word has it from resources on the net and unnamed sources that the 2004 case that WDP brought against Smart Parts in Wisconsin has gone to trial and a jury has ruled in favor of WDP. No word on any damages awarded yet, but the jury in the trial has ruled in favor of WDP. Judge John C. Shabaz presided over the trial, which started at 9 AM on December 6th.
Earlier this year Judge Garr M. King ruled in favor of WDP in a related case in the Federal Courts in Oregon. That particular case was brought by Smart Parts against WDP, and WDP was vindicated by Judge King's ruling.
As with the 2002 Oregon case, the ruling today on the 2004 Wisconsin case further weakens Smart Parts' claim to have invented the electronic paintball marker, and their patent on it. It's still not clear as to what effect today's ruling will have on the agreements that Smart Parts has secured with other marker manufacturers.
I have sent an email to Owen Ronayne of WDP and Spesh Robinson of Smart Parts asking for comment, and I'll post their responses here if and when I receive them

Injunction? Are you serious? Did WDP get an injunction to stop SP selling guns with certain features?Originally posted by Steve Hancock
