Default Re: copywrite/patent laws

It's also worth noting that the more general a patent is the harder it is to enforce.

So were they to patent the shape of the part yours would have to follow exactly the same shape and no other things could have that shape.

An example is apples patent of what appears to basically be a rectangle with curved corners, that would only have any chance of applying to something that matched it exactly with the same radius curves and sizing and even that would be iffy.
