Official C3YoyoDesign Topic

very true Paul is not going to lack cuz of this but my point is did c3 even ask before taking HIS idea?

actually they wouldnt be the first ones. 3yo3 also used sprs but then changed to the axel/bearing post that he uses now. My point is its not really copying its modifying it and making a new product. For example lets say you make a bike engine, its a really efficient and  its not expensive. Then i come and look at your engine and like the design and build an engine based on your desing , i can sell it and it is my creation seeing as that i changes it and made it a whole new engine. Please im not the best with examples so im trying to point out it doesnt matter they made something better. Heck mabey even paul will start using em

Isn't the Crucial Grooved Bearing effectively based on the KonKave. Did Paul ask Difeo for permission to sell those?

It's nice to get permission but the last thing you want is some stubborn (or even greedy) designer holding back other innovations.
