Smart Parts today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AJ Intermediate Holdings LLC and AJ Acquisition I, LLC, doing business as Kee Action Sports. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in the Tyler Division. The suit alleges infringement of seven patents that Smart Parts believes are being infringed by Kee. The seven patents are generally directed to electropneumatically operated paintball markers and barrels for paintball markers.

"Smart Parts has invested considerable resources in the development of advanced paintball markers and accessories," said William Gardner, Jr., Smart Parts' President and co-founder. "We value our intellectual property highly, and have filed this case to protect our products, our market, and our many licensees," Gardner said.

Smart Parts is an industry leader in the innovation of paintball equipment and is dedicated to the technological advancement of the sport. To learn more about Smart Parts and its innovative technologies, visit their website at www.smartparts.com.

how soon you guys forget the attempt by sp to gain world domination of paintball through the patent laws.
Only the muscle of WDP stopped them from controlling the rights to every paintball marker made.
So be careful who you swear your allegiances too, you may be backing a devil in disguise.

It sounds exactly like Tom is talking to you, as well as more generally. I'm sure you would care if you didn't have the choice of your prefered marker but instead had to shoot nothing by SP guns, I know I'd not be too happy.

If you care or not, apathy being the preferred course of this decade, there are ramifications for everyone's ability to play in the way they so wish. This isn't meant as a dig.

EDIT: Beat me to some of it Dusty
