DOES BOB GUERNSEY OWN THE PATENT ON PAINTBALL?
Mr. Guernsey, recognized as the father of paintball, did not put a patent on the idea. His lawyers went berserk! It was Mr. Guernsey’s philosophy that it was better to have a small piece of a BIG pie and most of a SMALL pie. No patent of the game was ever made by any of the original group of players. Bob Guernsey only gets money from his business, the National Survival Game, I m not even sure if he does NSG field franchises, any more. CONCLUSION All-in-all, it was a game of skill, stalking and marksmanship. It was also a game of fair play and honour. Bob and the boys probably never thought the game would advance to the level some players play at. Who could?
