craig:
The Petersen Patent essentially patents the claim for ANY USE of bismuth as a projectile for waterfowl.
Visitors to Hunters Bismuth website might notice that HB has never offered for sale "projectile shot", but merely " easy-pour pellets". The ad copy makes it clear that these pellets were never, never, never intended for use as projectiles.
My attorney said patent likely should never have been issued as claim is overbroad, and it was also likely "art"at the time of issuance, but again, only way to find out is a fight at the patent office, or if that doesnt work, in a patent court. Better to let it expire, as it will shortly.
