The patents are expiring and once they do regulators will kind of have their hand forced. Trying to mandate a solution only available through one provider is a nonstarter. And that's part of the darker side of Sawstop. He did try to have it mandated by law after companies didn't buy in. It was a very self serving move that made a lot of enemies.
