I know companies like specialized have caused some problems with Scott and their genius bike etc. (Not sure about stratos any article clarifying this please send me a link).
These problems affect other start-ups or other bike companies and consumers, and I am writing a paper for my econ class about Marginal benefit and marginal cost of patents in the biking industry (including opportunity cost). I was hoping, with the knowledge of the industry here, you monkeys can post up past example of patents affecting the industry. (personal or not, small or big parts)
Thank you anything you post will be of a big help.
