      also not sure if amazon could be considered an accomplice or not be willing selling stolen property on the marketplace. because the amount of people that have told them. i would say there willingly allowing it. almost helping with it. just a thought maybe a class action on amazon for everyone that got scammed by amazon allowing it after reports. bet someone goes after amazon themselves they drop the seller fast.

      The way these sellers in countries without robust patent and copyright laws get away with this kind of stuff is just so disheartening. There's a company selling knockoff Carhartt with the actual Carhartt logo all over their products and website and they've been doing it for years. If a big established brand like Carhartt can't stop knockoffs then you feel like what chance do smaller independent makers and sellers have.

    • @Kaelani_Revyruun
      @Kaelani_Revyruun 27 days ago +1

      That's where you also begin legal action to sue the person *behind* the account for copyright infringement, and absolutely destroy them in court, since the sharing of the file did not explicitly include commercial rights. Which means the revenue, not just profit, but entire revenue, of the product being sold on amazon illegally, becomes damages xD
      Edit: I derped and thought he would have a patent claim in this instance, but he didn't actually register a patent that we know of, but as his friend mentions further into the video than where I was up to, he has a copyright claim due to owning the IP of the stand design.

    Hey Morley, thanks so much for the shoutout at the end of the video!
    Been a big fan of your content for a while now, so it’s been really wild to (1) see you make a post on the exact type of IP cases I’ve been working on for the past year or so now (and not long after launching my own channel to boot) and (2) actually get a mention in one of your videos (kinda star struck right now, ngl haha).
    I’m really sorry you’ve had to go through all of this, but I’m glad to hear that the review bomb campaign was successful and it inspired you to make this awesome board mod!
    Here’s to hoping a Canadian IP attorney reaches out to you, because if you bring a claim against this guy and he doesn’t engage in the suit at all (say because he’s based in China or because he thinks it’s just not worth it), then it is possible that the final judgment can result in his whole store being shut down which will help all those other designers whose 3D files he’s infringing upon and taking advantage of.

    • @DigresstoImpress
      @DigresstoImpress Month ago +2

      @nephicus339 In my experience, that isn’t uncommon, unfortunately. The way infringers like these tend to stop for good is when they wind up getting caught in multiple suits over the course of a few years. After a certain point the many judgments entered against them make their counterfeit operations a net loss and not just a cost of doing business.
      But this seller is interesting, though, in that they are seemingly 3D printing their knockoffs themselves and aren’t working with some large manufacturer, so losing even a single lawsuit might be business ending for them.

      I'd imagine the first thing he'll say is you can only patent something if it is novel, and undisclosed. Putting a wheel on something isn't novel, and posting it on the internet is the opposite of undisclosed. Oh, you'll also have to have at least started patent applications. (The "patent pending" wording is mostly useless though, as either you have a patent, or you don't.)
      This is pretty much an example of how not to go about product development.

    Not a copyright lawyer here - but my understanding is the patent is the CONCEPT and the copyright is the creative artwork (your custom creation).
    The IP is that they CANNOT steal or reacreate your creation, similarly with the complex code of a custom function (yes, I'm in tech), if you say so - the patent simply stops anyone being able to recreate, remodel or recode your concept/idea in their own way.
    You should have full legal rights however as people say amazon would simply listen to the lawyers but would not stop the new accounts from keeping popping up to sell it.
    Amazing trilogy!

    • @MorleyKert
      @MorleyKert  Month ago +3

      I was actually thinking of doing that, but that has two major downsides:
      1. Wherever you attach the chain link to the one wheel, it’s a weak point that could be easily cut with bolt cutters or an angle grinder. The chain links are hardened steel, not so easy to cut.
      2. You would never have the option to ride without a chain lock attached to the board (which would be nice for off road, etc.)

      Nope, a Patent wouldn't have done 💩.
      Patents only exist for big Corpos to bully others. If you're not a big corporation, then filing and defending your patent is gonna cost you wayyyy more than any benefit you'd get from it.
      Also, the IP infringement happened as soon as he used the 3d file to print. That file is distributed under a license, which is equal to contractual obligation when you download and use the file.
      So using a file for commercial use, that was licensed under a non-commercial license is considered a breach of contract.

    Amazon is very guilty in the fact that they have been stealing competitor ideas, making knock off products then calling them "amazon brands" and they are legally allowed to get away with this. Other competitors have gone after amazon for making straight up clones of their products. It's called stealing and the only way it will end is if people start suing them or calling them out each time they do it.

      It's not just Amazon. It's the entire industry that does this. They have legal experts that only exist to find ways to skirt patents and copyright issues for their masters.
      And you can bet that if you were to do the same to them they'd bring in the full might of their lawyer strike force, because they can afford to litigate you into bankruptcy too.

    If they are using your exact same 3D model, then it is copyrighted; however, if it is just a similar design, then you are out of luck, and you would need a patent to protect that. If it is a seller on Amazon, the best you can do is have Amazon remove the product. Technically, due to Amazon's contract with merchants, Amazon shrugs off all responsibility for the listed items due to copyright and patent infringement. It would be a waste of time suing them. Small chance the seller is in the US and sueable. Most likely scenario is that the seller is not in the US and you'll just be wasting your time.

    Copyright lawyer here!
    There are two criteria for proving infringement :
    Prior access and substantial similarity. Basically, you have to be able to prove that they likely have seen the product before, and that their version is similar to yours.
    A cool added benefit for your case is: the stronger proof you have of one criteria, the less you need of the other. Meaning, if you can 100% prove they saw your video, you don't need to prove that their product is that similar to yours. Additionally, if theirs is identical to yours, you don't have to prove that they saw your video.
    Most importantly, though, copyright is a defensive right and you can (as the owner of the IP) DEFINITELY stop anyone from using your designs!
    (this is not legal advice for obvious reasons, but I hope it helps with giving some insights/context)

An argument can be made that this is "functional art" as it's primary purpose for invention was to entertain a youtube audience, and not *actually about inventing something. But yes you're right, if he were to prosecute, the burden if truth would fall on him...
      (I'd also like to add that I'm south african, not American, and there could be very subtle differences in local laws that I'm not aware of.)

      @Imaboss8ball 29 days ago +7

      You are obviously not a copyright lawyer. Copyright covers things that could in some aspects be primarily considered art. It does not cover functional material. For example a recipe is a functional set of instructions. It is not covered. Products for the most part are not covered by copyright. A pot is a pot. If it is shaped a certain way for functional benefits then it can legally be copied unless patented.
      This stand fulfills a need that wasn't otherwise acknowledged. That makes it a functional product. As such legally and ethically anyone can copy it unless it is patented. The files may or may not be protected but that is entirely irrelevant to the physical products produced from the files.

    • @bernoventer2821
      @bernoventer2821 29 days ago

      ​@Imaboss8ballyou're probably right, but two things can be right at once... a pot obviously is made for cooking, but if you found one in an art installation, can it not then be classified as art?
      That's the whole point I tried making: it was made not as an actual commercial product, but as a means of entertainment. Where I'm from That's considered art. I agree that it is difficult to prove, and maybe even ambiguous, but a functional car can be art, a banana taped to a wall can be art even if it's technically not.
      But maybe you're right, I'm entirely unsure if my opinion would hold up in court....
      Was fun sharing some insight about copyright tho lol

      ​@Imaboss8ballbold accusation when touching only the Wikipedia definition of how deep that subject goes.
      The exact likeness of a product can and has been copyrighted. So he can't stop anyone from making the same idea because there's no patent. The idea of a wheeled stand for a one wheel is not exclusive.
      Copying the *exact* design though is more of a copyright gray area because the shape and form of a product most definitely are (often) artistic expressions. Apple sued to protect rounded phone screens. Not patented, a design choice.
      The cheese wedge shelves brackets they also stole for example. Obviously he doesn't have a patent for shelf brackets. But the specific design of those is an artistic expression.
      It may not win in court but you don't need it to. The moment there's a potential copyright violation Amazon wants no part of it and takes the listing down.
      He's not looking to spend the 10s of thousands it takes to prevail at trial that damages won't come close to. He just wants to give the guy hell.

      @emma70707 Month ago +6

      Right? Evan and Kaitlyn are creators who do intellectual property appropriately. They invented something. Realized it didn't make financial sense to patent it so they put it out into the world so someone else couldn't patent it knowing full well it meant someone else could profit from it, and even said they were cool with that because it means others could get the product more easily then. That's a good thing!
      Morley should learn from them...

      It's not about the file specifically.
      He designed and invented the item. He is fine with people using it for themselves, but NOT selling it as their own.
      It's like if your friend made a cake and gave you the recipe. If you then take this recipe and bake cakes that you plan to sell, all while claiming YOU invented this specific cake recipe, you're in the wrong.
      As well, as he points out, it's low quality and unusable.
      The seller has hundreds of listings of stolen prints, as well.

    • @sasjadv
      @sasjadv Month ago +8

      Now, here is the legal side of this thing:
      The amazon seller used the 3d file, which was licensed. That license counts as a contract, and the contractual obligation was to use it for personal and non-commercial use only.
      If the amazon seller was merely inspired by the video, and he made his own 3d file from scratch (that only roughly looked similar), then there is nothing Morley could do about it.

    • @DanHeskett-p9n
      @DanHeskett-p9n Month ago

      @Mothman_In_a_T-Pose The cake example is actually really really really bad from a law perspective. You cannot copyright a list of ingredients and portions - the recipes themselves are simply not able to be copyrighted in the US. That is why recipe sites and books are full of non-cooking fluff to bury the recipe in copyrightable content. In the cake example, if you give a friend the recipe, you can neither use copyright or patent law against the friend to prevent them from selling the cakes unless you first obtained a patent for the cake recipe - probably as a process patent - or unless you attached a contract (verbal or written) to the use of the recipe. Even if you had a contract, it may not be enforceable depending on the exact terms and circumstances.
      "Stolen prints" is actually a complex topic, and an actual IP lawyer really needs to weigh in. The lawyer friend is sort of out of his depth here.

    Great job getting these things taken down. I often have problems with my designs being stolen from Makerworld or Printables and sold on Etsy, eBay, or Amazon. Legal action is too expensive, so the only option right now is to send an email pointing out that it's not okay (which works in about 10% of cases) or just to put up with it and accept it. It's just sad.

The whole of the fashion industry has no IP, you can copy any dress, bag or shoe you like, how can something be "real" if an entire industry doesn't have it?

    You may want to print some sort of plug/cover where you insert the key or you may end up with debris caught in there and you're unable to insert or turn the key. You'd probably want to connect to a loop that goes around the chain so the cover doesn't get lost when the chain is in use.
