[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 2875187, member: 96797"] I am not sure the design is unique or novel. Perhaps the combination of rails is unique. Seems like there is plenty of room to compete on the value of quality, function and cost. If someone wants to lock up the design they need a patent. If someone wants to lock up the name they need a trademark or copyright. When you proceed with neither you are effectively saying you are going to compete based on quality, function, customer service and price. Effectively, skipping the patent says you don't want to own the design and you are willingly making it public. For me it comes down to value added. If the two similar products are available I consider the overall value. If the value is similar I will support the inventor. If the inventor can't deliver the value (not all that uncommon) then they don't get my money. There is a pretty long list of good ideas that were poorly executed. From what I know, I would buy the SRS product over the knockoff, but I don't fault someone else for trying. [/QUOTE]
