Sig Sues Springfield over Hellcat

Let’s face it, when the P365 came out one of the biggest innovations touted by almost everyone was the double stack in a single stack magazine. And while Patent Pending does not provide you any legal coverage at the time, it does mean that you have applied for a patent and competitors copy your design at their risk. I think Sig is probably in pretty good shape. But what do I know, I’m not a lawyer, but I did stay at a holiday in.

As a side note, in the 80s a British gentleman by the name of James Dyson peddled his new dangled invention - the cyclonic vacuum cleaner - to all and sundry but could not get anyone to invest in his company. What did happen though is that several well known companies decided to copy his invention and with the money he received by suing them finally launched his own very successful business Dyson Ltd.

One more
TiVo did the same with their technology to all cable and satellite companies only one took them up on it, others implemented their "own". In the end we now all pay TiVo because they won the lawsuit against them all. DirectTV was the only one to implement TiVo into their receivers so they were not affected.

So if you have any cable/satellite boxes with a hard drive and the ability to record and store your shows you to pay fees in order too use TiVos technology

On the subject of double stack magazines I think of my Browning HiPower.

Double stack magazine was invented by one Dieudonne Saive, a Belgian in the employ of Fabrique Nationale, now FNH. Saive was working on a new gun for the French, and they specified 10 or more rounds in capacity.
The guy who designed much of the rest of the gun was one John Moses Browning, and the pistol in question was the Browning Hi Power. Browning passed away before it was completed, and Saive finished the work.

I understand the need of protection of the intellectual property, but merely using existing art (staggering the bullets) does not constitute something that needs to be protected.
And yes I own both the SA and the Sig in this "new" staggered magazine format. IMO both those companies should had never been granted "patents" for something that is so obvious prior art.

It was ReplayTV that was first to dare to "skip" commercials. Sued out into bankruptcy by the big TV networks.
