mobow and others,

Not to say anything contrary to the mod and his position, who may very well be 100% correct in all that he stated, but remember he IS a staff member and rep for Bowtech therefore he will have, and is in most cases is required to have, a specific outlook on the subject.

I only say this because I am somewhat familiar with the process of patent litigation via a relative who handles such. ie. there is always at least 2opinions to the argument which is why there are patent lawyers and courts to hear the cases and each side will continue to play their position until, and sometimes well after, that case is resolved. (think Micr0s0ft)
someone is usually correct and the other incorrect, but it is not always clear until the case is settled. And even then, one will also usually beleive that the case was decided properly and the other that it wasn't.
(and sometimes it isn't who is right, but who has the better legal team)

Again, Matt / PA, it is nothing against you or your company, I am only pointing this out because I think it should be noted that, frankly you would say what you did no matter if your company had a valid claim or not. It's just the reality of the legal situation.
Now if you are correct and a patent is being truely infrindged, then I hope you and yours pound it to them. If it's a legal quirk and discrepancy on some minor similarities...... too bad.

Just my point on this.
