Agreed. Unless the court decides SawStop's patents are overly

That's actually what I've been thinking. I've not really dug into the
patent, and I'm not sure I'm really capable of doing that properly, but I
have long wondered if Gass simply went overly broad in his patent, and that
it would not stand up to a test in court. I guess we'll see...
