Patent issues in hardware manufacturin

Hardware including below types patents，

I，Material secret

II，Shape and dimension spec

III，Finish and coating skills

Original inventors dedicated a lot in innovation and they apply patents to prevent intellectual property infringement.It is the basic logic to run all industries. In hardware manufacturing fields,material secret, finish and coating skills are easy to protect under the complex technology processing, such as NYLOK®,GEOMET® and DELTA ®. Patent cost may amortize in special on-way material to guarantee the inventor to get the refund.

Shape and dimension copyright protection is always difficult to achieve, PEM invent the sheet-metal fasteners and Pencom founder Bill Gardiner run out thumb screws, Textron with Torx® and Mathread own MAThread®. Textron and Mathread control the punch-tooling and thread rolling die and charge empower- license fees to achieve copyright fees.

For manufactures in hardware industry,  the users of patent pay the reasonable license fees to patentee are the correct way to take part in modern specialization and cooperation. On the contrary,local government should set up rules to guarantee the users of patent get license permission easily.
