Proposed Rottweiler mouthpiece (Mouthpiece Work Yahoo Group)

FROM: saxgourmet (STEVE GOODSON)

SUBJECT: Proposed Rottweiler mouthpiece

We now believe that this model is in violation of US Patent #0123973A1  
held by our good friend, Jody Espina, and we will NOT proceed with  
this model in violation of his patent. It was NEVER our intent to  
infringe on Jody's rights. Our design varies in several significant  
areas, but we honestly believe that there is good reason to believe  
that Jody owns the rights to certain aspects of this proposal, and we  
will absolutely honor them.

I did not read it all and I can not see the drawings for some reason.  Maybe I 
need a newer Quicktime version.  You may just need to change your dimensions a 
little to be outside of the range of what is claimed.

I pulled the number off the application, so your number may be the  
correct final one....I don't know.....our design is SIGNIFICANTLY  
different from Jody's in several regards, BUT the window design,  
although not exactly the same was very similar. Jody is a long time  
friend, and we would rather keep him as our friend than sell a couple  
of hundred mouthpieces. We have plenty of other designs to bring to  
market.....
