Sounds like a good ideaOriginally posted by Philip
Hmm, maybe go the way planet is selling, keeping them safe. Sell the marker without gripframe, have grip frame with board etc for sale along side the body. The frame can be used for whatever they want
The frame alone wont be activating anything but a light, the body have no electronics, allow the clients to put it together.
Will this fly in court? Nope, sound good? Not really...but its an idea.
it does not take one person to fight them, one company with lots of money......you need the power of the masses. if no-one buys from them again, and they cannot live off the royalties of a patent then you can put the company out of business.Originally posted by Paul Collier
It takes someone to fight em first, someone/company with enough $$$ to do it, AKA are a pretty small company as such I think they realised that if they fought they risked losing their entire business....

For information on the actual patent it's in the following linkOriginally posted by Booti
Sorry for being a complete knob here but i have just read this from front to back and am now completely bemused. Obviously SP have dumped on some smaller companies from a great height and annoyed a lot of ballers out there to the tune of 6 pages of complaints in less than 24 hours, but what exactly has happened (yes i am new to the sport)
A lot of mention is being made of a patent....is there a copy of it anywhere that i can read as i am getting more interested by the minute.
And as to Pauls very valid remark.....

P.S.
i have no bug to bear with smart parts......i have never had any need to date to buy from them, and so i cannot comment on there product

Well I've just ordered my Viking, guess they will be even more exclusive.
Back up is still there so no problems.
Just a shame, obviously not enough business out there to share. I for one will not be buying SP equipment or buying from SP.
