Can anyone explain to me what exactly Gene Cunningham and Wayne Gillard bought from Williams respectively?
As far as I can tell they each only got half the pie!? It's a little confusing to me, one guy can do one thing and the other can do something else.
I have a question.................
Does the fact that one party is making new MM pins and printing new translites and art automatically stop the other party from doing so too ???? or did both parties purchase rights to equally manufacturer everything and anything they want ????
In saying this, some consumers are of the understanding that one has purchased the license and the rights, but they could simply be telling the consumer that they have the rights to one product / part that they actually do not have licensing / rights to............. 
There does not seem to be a clear line between the two license holders. As an example;
IPB and TPF can produce MM playfields. Both have said they will. IPB have released theirs.
The "who owns what" lists are shrouded in mystery. Either way - Both companies produce what they think they have rights to. The only governing factor in the mix is WMS Industries - Who have to approve the right to produce the licensed part(s). I think they simply request permission from WMS Industries to produce.
