    I just hit a deer this morning with my 2014 MGM. Depending on the wait, I'd definitely be in for a raptor style.

    Yes: legal bullshit is why real things don't get accomplished in a timely fashion in this country. :(

    Thanks for writing back. Being an industrial designer, I've had a few things patented. I signed some documents for the patents on one project suite in 2012, they just got patented this spring. Nearly three years after the products were already on the market in Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart, QVC, and Amazon. In my professional experience patenting isn't usually worthwhile unless you're dealing a large volumes (many thousands) or super high cost items where the process is at risk of being outproduced by a foreign company which can undercut through economies of scale. It's extremely difficult (and expensive) to draft a patent which can't be sidestepped in some way. I've got my own business which I consult and sell industrial design through (Lakelife Design) so if you do want to discuss anything shoot me a PM. Anyway, I'm keep my eye on this thread because you do great work and I think everyone around here would like to see you become even more prolific!

    Okay, so maybe I misread something somewhere. Are you not making these for the 14's yet or are you just not mass producing them? I would be interested in purchasing one for my 14' MGM. PM me with details if you like.

    Homer, based on this fellow's patent experience and input and the fact that I am shopping for a 2015 right now, I advise you to say fuck it and proceed without the patent.
