Yeah but in 2017 TTS (the parent company of Festool) acquired SawStop.

TTS is a magnitude bigger than SawStop and they might have different ideas than a narrow minded patent attorney.

Sure, but who exactly did they send to congress to make the case? Our good friend, Steve Gass, Esq.

TTS owns the shop but Gass clearly still has influence here.

>a narrow minded patent attorney.

He's got a PhD in Physics, and invented the core Stop Saw product after dabbling in woodworking as a hobby for many years.

Call him anything, but narrow minded isn't one of the descriptors that applies.
