According to the description, there is a US patent on the Fat Boy pen. I wonder if PSI will be looking at a law suit or if they have paid a fee to the FB people to use the design?
Another interesting question just occurs to me. Maybe PSI can avoid liability because they are only producing kits and the protection afforded to a functional pen does not apply to the pieces of a kit.
OTOH, if one of us assembles those pieces onto a complete and working pen that is a close/exact copy of the FB pen and then try to sell it for a profit, does said pencrafter incur some type of liability.
Where the hell is JimGo when you need him? Is he still stuck under a kitchen cabinet??
