Battlefield Sports scored a victory as IP Australia upholds a patent that protects the SATR system. This means the gamer experience that Battlefield Sports delivers is unique.
Experience has shown that repeat business has been much greater with the new patented SATR system versus older systems.
Battlefield Sports was successful in a legal battle when a Senior Examiner upheld the validity of its Australian patent.
A group, that previously worked for Battlefield Sports, asked IP Australia to "re-examine" the patent which protects the renowned real-time hit-feedback in any terrain using Battlefield Sports' innovative peer-to-peer software. This third party initially asked IP Australia to "re-examine" the patent in May 2013.
This request failed. The reexamination was finalized in Battlefield Sports favor in August 2013. After an advertising period, the cycle was completed in February 2014. This third party then tried again in August 2014 and asked for a second "re-examination". This time the result was very quick.
This request also failed.
The reexamination was finalized in Battlefield Sports favor in September 2014.
This close examination of the patent has indeed strengthened our resolve and has confirmed that the SATR patent is resilient. Battlefield Sports submitted its patent application, originally, back in December 2006. The patent application number is 2007335257.
The patent has also been approved in New Zealand, in the USA, and in the EU/UK.
Battlefield Sports was awarded a European Patent for technology related to its real-time hit-feedback laser tag system.
The patent application was originally filed in 2007, and it lists one inventor, Battlefield Sports Founder, Peter Lander. "We are pleased to confirm that Battlefield Sports' European patent application has now been issued as a patent. The official patent number is 2126508.

If it were not for Battlefield Sports innovations in laser tag technology, gamers could not enjoy our brand of combat entertainment just about anywhere - indoor or outdoor. With many innovative successes behind us, we are continuing to invent the future in laser tag," said Peter Lander.
