Not trying to stir the pot here, just trying to understand all of this since intellectual property is quite fascinating to me...
Jake is producing the heads based on the original Porsche heads with modifications he/Len have developed right? Could Porsche have the same claim against Jake since he is making the heads on the CNC machine now? How much does something have to be modified before its considered "different"...I believe a former boss of mine had this problem once when he tried to patent his idea, the patent office rejected it because it was "too easily modified" (I think that was the reasoning" |

It would have expired years ago. It's free for everyone to copy. |
