I thought they announced they were making the patent public so other companies could make the blade stop mechanisms and hopefully save more lives/body parts
They did.
I hadn't heard that before, but you are correct. However, I don't think there's a date when this will actually happen. The statement from SawStop says that it's "many years away".
Ah so once the patent has been used to its fullest lol
