If you want to avoid gettin sued....jus submit your ideas to the prospective paintball gun manufacturer and if the board members like what they see....then they'll consider puttin a patent on it in which you could collect the royalties from each marker sold on the market....but, do be very careful, in the money making world there are extreme politics involved. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

although this is the proper thing to do, it may not be the best idea... by doing so, they have your name and adress, and will know you are attempting to do so, and it would take so time for aproval or rejection unless they have the exact look copyrighted, you have the right to make a similar looking gun, nobody complains when someone puts an M-16 kit on their gun and...try to keep it on the downlow...if someone says "hey man, that looks like a frickin angel, wow!" just play it cool "hmm...yeah, i suppose from the right angle it does..." |

if your not stealing their skidmatics the you should be fine, they couldn't touch you actually. just get a different patent #. thats a great idea.

If your not selling them nobody is going to bother you, now if you were building a marker a lot like a one by Smart Parts than you better watch out  .
