Are you saying its OK to copy a product make some simple changes and that is OK?
Or are you saying you engineered a product very much like the originator by happenstance and as evidence note the angle difference on the strut and the joint Difference?
ALSO for what do you attribute your companies ability to release so many products? Do you outsource the R&D or what because I can see how you could make so many products without a head start.

Actually, a co-worker friend of mine is a USAF scientist and has several patents. Even patents can be copied as long as there is changes in the design. Although, he gets upset when a company does an exact copy of his design. Then he has to go to court over it. Does Fesler or Ringbrothers have patents on their hinges? No! Are they exact copies? No, they are similar but not exact copies of each other. I bought a set of Ringbrother's hinges, but I wish that they opened farther like the Fesler design. I sent an email in the past to Ringbrother's requesting that change to be made in the airframe design, they refused to do it. So if Ringbrothers want to make a better hinge, then just change the design and make it more functional. Competition is good for the consumer.
