90 degree frames.... companies letting their business get too close to the bandsaw?

Like, for example, AGD's Y grip frame. I don't think that'll infringe anybodies patent. TK is durn smart!

I would think it would be pretty hard to patent the idea of having a frame at a certain angle. That is so broad, its like patenting the color red, or the idea of having doors on a house.

I haven't read the patent in awhile, but I believe Tom does have a patent for the forward angled grip (i.e. Z-Grip). I believe that is why the space frame "stopped" at 90 degrees.

I assume haveblue has it listed on his site so anyone can verify this if they want to.

well they did make the z-grip first so i suppose they could sue themselves

CCM has made an 89* frame for cockers and it is on thier new J2 cockers. i think it looks pretty cool and very comfy. i guess this adds to the speculation that it has to be the exact same design as what is in the patent for WDP to sue anyone.
