So does any of these companies benefit financially from these patents? I mean it is not a lifesaving drug they have patented. Or is just to say that I am bigger and better than you and it becomes a pissing contest. IMHO it seems it would be better to take the lead from a few major manufacturers that are now giving up their patents since they have found that a community at large will work better together to move an industry forward. You can either try to take a bigger piece of the pie or try to create a bigger pie so everyone benefits. In other words, I believe the more wooden boats there is on the market, the more likely the general public will see them as an alternative to composites and we all win, so working together makes more sense to me, but unfortunately that has not been my experience. Just my thoughts.
