Roflcopter. I wonder if that will hold up! Especially since there are timestamped images all over the internet of homemade versions.....Although I have no idea if that actually means anything in court :'(
Only 12 grams lighter than the homemade version? :'(
Frasier is indirectly referring to the latest mrp ripoff
I know, i'm just saying....P.S. i heard knapps is destroyed now. Confirm/deny?
well, my guess is that Dave applied for a patent before he put out the LG-1 plate with the two "mounting holes". as long as he applied for the patent before the "timestamped images" showed up, he's fine.
what are you, 12?
I've heard from several sources the Knapps, or at least part of it, got plowed. So did Romero, the whole damn thing. The zaca lake fire lead to a lot of bulldozing along the ridge...it sucks but its also an opportunity
12? Noob. But unfortunately that is a rather popular pro forum slang :'(. Get with the times... I was just bringing up a point, and again, i know nothing of patent law, only logic. But that would be pretty "dang" stupid if they get a monopoly on "tacos"well, my guess is that Dave applied for a patent before he put out the LG-1 plate with the two "mounting holes". as long as he applied for the patent before the "timestamped images" showed up, he's fine.

It isn't the bashguard they would be patenting, it would be the mounting system. It wouldn't be stupid at all, itwould be incredibly smar. Business is all about exclusivity. If they didn't do it, someone else would. You have to protext your investments.
You'll have to talk to DW. It isn't my business and I have no idea. DW has way too many patents to even speculate!Can DW or Transcend specify the patent... patent #? Working around patents it something that everyone does. I'm not quite sure how you can patent a flat piece of metal/ carbon cut into a design.
My design is still diferent because there are NO mounting bolts for the bash because it is completely intergrated. The fact that there are NO bolts is a completely different design and I could patent that. But then again its just a flat piece of carbon cut into a design...
Butch, the Human Plow
fsa and race face also ripped off the SRS
No, you cannot. The bashguard on the DRS is an Integral part of the guide system itself. I Tried to run mine to find a way to do it, but the chain just wont stay on without the bashguard, E13 will tell you the same thing.
Just so you know, the MRP Mounts are abdsolutly differnt than this one. They are presenting theres for Use with a Triple setup, but i am sure it will also be setup for use with a guide as well. I think its cool that E13 and Mrp are both pushing each other in this particular feild, means We are going to end up with some really good products available, Oh, and to make it clear, My personal preference is Any of the E13 products over Mrp anyday. Setup, Maintanance and care is much easier.
Sorry, I wasn't being clear, yes of course it'd be smart for them. I meant from the perspective of a consumer. e-13 would be stupid not to try to patent everything they could think up. I'm sure that what they and every company does.
Serious
Must be a feature of the FRO model: less weld = less weight.
Take a look at different frames. The mfg and attachment of ISCG tabs varies a lot between brands. DHR has the tabs as part of the bb shell...machined from the same piece. The Sunday is a forged part that is welded to the bb shell. Nicolai uses a machined piece that is bolted on...
now this sounds like a great mountain, I must ride there.

I'm pretty sure that if you want to look up another company's patents, they'll give you this response.
Sure!.....Call the gatehouse to see if they're open---just dial "O" on the little pink telephone......:biggrin:
So you'd prefer to destroy spider after spider then? Also, it'd be up to your frame manufactiurer to follow the ISCG 05 specs, not e.13.
Man, how do you guys destroy spiders? I don't think i've ever even seen that before! What do you just run your bike into a brick wall, bashguard first?
Bloody oath i would rather destroy a $150 crank arm then destroy my $2500 frame.
