geeze Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Dont patents expire after like a 10 yr period or something and after that, anyone can copy the idea? How much longer til there will be copycats in the market (not that ill buy them over the S&A-the originator deserves the credit and sale) It is 20 yrs. It is also my understanding that the 20 starts from the application date and not the actual award date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1xBugsBunnyx1x Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think patents can be renewed prior to date of expiring to protect it. The wife & I been trying to decide which to buy for a SS Gold Cup, Kimber SS Flat are backordered, have not called Colt and the S&A looks identical to what Colt uses on the Special Combat Govt which she really likes, I am ASSuming Colt gets them from S&A for the custom shop guns? LOL must get one this week as we shoot a qualifier this Sat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
