You reckon they could get away with that? After all, other people were building eyes before SP came out with one.... Dan Bonebrake comes to mind.
People were building electronic markers before SP, whats your point?

I don't think it refers to an eye system. Nore like an active feedback system where they measure different things (i.e. input pressure, velocity, temperature) and then adjuct certain things so that the marker cycles more... consistently.

[edit]Maybe i use the word "thing" too much... hmmm [/edit]

Does anyone remember the marker of the future, about 6 years ago? The Warrior. It was designed, and amost ready for market before a lawsuit over the name was filed. The name was changed to "Cyber 9000" I believe. The marker was an electro, with a built in chrono system, along with some other features seen on a few electros now.

Does this mean that SP has designed or wishes to design a next generation marker capable of doing what has been described, or do they know of someone who is in the process and trying to beat them to the punch via patent? Is this what ICD was working on? Could this patent be used to block WDP's ball sensing system?

Wasn't the Cyber 9000 PVI's failed design, after the shocker?

"The Cyber 9000, from Pneuventures

Pneuventures, the company that manufactured the original shocker, has branched off and came out with their new gun, The Cyber 9000. The Cyber 9000 comes in 3 designs, the standard, the golden Cyber 9000 , and the ultimate cyber 9000. Standard Features on all of the designs include extremely quiet, highly accurate, uses very low pressure CO2, nitrogen or compressed air, low (or no) recoil, uses wgp threads, no external moving parts or springs, hard coat black anodized finish, includes NEW CYBER9000 Super Flow Regulating System either on-gun or remote, 14" tournament barrel, hard coated and black anodized, batteries are included, and one year full warranty, parts and labor."

My very limited recollection of patent law in the US is that in order to have a patent granted, the product must be in "commercial use". I other words, they (SP) have to be selling the product. So.... to what existing marker would this apply?
