I've been following this thread since the beginning, great procrastination tool to get me through finals... I hadn't gotten involved until now b/c I'm way too much of a beginner to really chime in, but I do have one question....
Kildy, you say here
I'm wondering why you would explain someone how to specifically avoid your patent? Obviously, as two board designers, you can share ideas/etc, but if you don't want someone stealing your idea, why would you tell him how to avoid the patent in the first place? Maybe this is something that designers do a lot and I'm just not aware of it (b/c I'm far from being a designer)??
I'm not trying to fan the fire here or make any accusation through this question, this quote has just been bothering me for a while b/c I don't understand the reasoning behind it.
Thanks!
