Did you have shares in Winchester.???
Why shouldn't he get a patent .This is business and if Winchester or whoever infringes they pay, Simple.As we would if we stole someone else's idea.
We all work for money and want to make as much as possible.Good on him for suing and winning.I missed him in ST.

Ken, Read the thread I linked earlier, and Jamison's patent, and see if you still have the same opinion. Many believe as I do, and I believe in protecting intellectual property rights. He may be legally correct, but morally wrong.

I believe he come up with nothing unique, and was issued a patent in error. I have heard that happens not infrequently. I like to consider the shooting community more gentlemanly than the rest of the business world. His patent is complicated and could actually cover a new concept. If it does it may be a "gotcha"

This probably is the patent:

United States Patent: 6675717)

Here is a link to an article by Chuck Hawks about this issue:
