But actually it is illegal. Even to make and use for your own personal use and never sell. That’s the whole point of a patent.
That is entirely the point of my response above.
Just making it. Using it, or (not and) selling it or offering to sell, or even make and give away for free to a friend. Is illegal. It’s protected under
35 U.S. Code § 271
So why you may feel you have the right to take my idea that I worked hard to design and make and use it for your self or share for free with friends… you don’t.
I support diy. We gladly offer free advice and help everyday for no charge at all to anyone who messages us. Seriously message us on Facebook if you have a bmw issue you can’t figure out. We will guide you through a diy fix. Advice is always free with us.
But making a diy copy of a patented product is illegal. Doesn’t matter if you sell it or not.
We don’t pay our attorney for nothing. We made sure when we made the investment to test this that the patent was made correctly so that no one can use this and steal our idea and us not recoup our investment.
If you need a kit. I’m happy to help you. I’ll gladly sell you one. If you own a shop and have a business license and want to stock them we offer discounts on bill orders and to resellers.
