That's 'cause KMDSI coerced Cdiver to remove him...gutless, but that's an awful big legal dept that KMDSI swings around...so the fella's here can't be blamed...for the first one anyhow...after that...well...that would be for you all to determine equity vs reality.<br />
<br />
still, they just seem to be patenting old stuff, nothing new... no surprise there. I suppose if you can't be original, be thorough in your piracy and history revisions...

It seems to me I remember Carson trying to drum up support for a class action lawsuit against KM a few months ago...I also notice that he's no longer on either forum. Coincident?

It has to go through the legal system. Until someone steps up and files a suit for infringement of business ( ie the independent hat maker) unrestricted patents will continue. DId you know that some one could legally form a business Using you name in the title and theres not much you could do about it. Unless it began to infringe on your rights... Until you file for a trademark, even your name is a public domain...

Chere, KM is a govt contractor and yet the hardware on their hats are manufactured in Taiwan and elsewhere, their hats are only assemblied in Santa Batbara, CA. So why isn't the govt on them for violation of the Buy American Act?

If KM could control the resale market by making the hat's hardware obsolete say every 5 yrs then the average diver would have to purchase at least 2 new hats if not more during his/her career.<br />
<br />
But that would only work if KM could keep others from making after market replacement parts for their hats. Like with patents and trademarks. It would also reduce the number of used hats for sale which would also boost the sale of new hats.

Remember what habbened to BIll Gates? Eventually you cross a line with patents that infringe on free trade an beginto MONOPOLIZE which is what happened to Gates. there are things that KM buys from others (like Plumbing and comm parts) to avoid this. If the line gets too thin it will cause major trouble for KM

Agreed Diva:<br />
<br />
It also allows them to discontinue parts and,because aftermarket parts would infringe on the patents, this forces people into huge expenses to replace full helmets instead of $5 parts to make them functional.

Y'all aren't seeing the whole picture here. Not only may these patents pose a concern for those who make hats or want to make hats, but also for those who make and/or sell after market replacement parts or custom made parts for use on helmets and bandmasks. And would it be limited to just the KM brand after market parts? I suspect the courts would have to decide.
