PABassBoy Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Is it legal to make a mold of a bait that is already out on the market? Im looking at the "Kicker Kraw" made byKicker Fish Baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 The bait does not appear to have a patent on it. Nothing quoted on the web site and a patentsonline search did not show anything similar. Searches: 'kicker craw' = zero results, 'craw bait' = 22 results, but none applicable. Of course, they could have an application in that does not show up yet, so you could still find yourself in future trouble. The 'KICKER CRAW' name is trade marked, so you will have to name your bait something else. You are going to a lot of trouble to re-design someone elses lure, why not design your own. Everything in this post is just my opinion. If you want a more trusted and secure ruling, you should go to a patent lawyer. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
