Dude, isn't that like copyrighting chord changes in a song? I don't see how they can patent a 2 inch tube with two wheels attached. If he doesn't want to build it, find some one who will. Dom at bentech made my frame:

Here's a picture of it:

He builds diamond frame bikes correct? How many companies could sue him for that? His thinking is flawed. Volae makes recumbents similar to Bacchetta, and they haven't been sued: http://www.volaerecumbents.com/. Bacchetta would be stupid to sue them anyway. They would just hurt the industry more than help it.

Crap Greenspeed's trike has been copied almost excatly by Scarab and Trimuter, but they haven't sued. Greenspeed sells plans to thier trike, even. Bent manufacturing is small; they don't have the money going around slapping law suits on everyone. They'd do better to spend thier time building better bikes.
