The original architect will have a different view.

 

I'm sure they would - and that opinion is likely to be the one that maximizes their revenue. I don't see how that's at all relevant when compared with what the law has to say on the matter.
 

 

Also there' a different between a building and an aircraft in law!

 

And if someone wants to tell me that there's some IP law around the hump of a 747 or the shape of an airplane, I'm all ears.

 

Cheers!

Actually Gulf Stream claims the shape of their windows are copyrighted, which is why you don't see any models of their aircraft developed in FS.

Thanks

welll allthough this is a little bit offtopic, in the german law there is something called "geschmacksmuster" which just does that

The shape of Gulfstream's windows are patented and thus making a duplication of them is a patent violation... even if it's a 3D model.

 

This is where patents and copyright laws start to get a bit silly for me.

It gets even more silly when they start to patent part od your own body!

 

I read somewhere that Taylor Swift patents some of her lyrics.  :Money Eyes:

Sadly, I do not have anything worth patenting! :lol:

I think you would have the prior art. :)

Patented, not copyrighted. This raises the question whether something that looks the same but has no function whatsoever is covered by the patent. The reality is that unless you have $500k or more to vigorously fight, you just move on and texture a Citation or Lear.

 

The US courts at least have been moving vigorously to strike down a number of obvious patents and allowing dramatically more in terms of damages to defendants forced to respond to a frivolous case. Not sure what will happen here (and we're veering away since trademarks and patents are different from copyright) but I do know DMCA has provisions for frivolous takedown notices.

 If they patented the window did they patent not only the actual window but a drawing of it too?

What seems strange to me is IVAO's timing for this action against Matt. The video in question was a tutorial how to load the IVAO set into Vpilot about a year ago, which since the developer of VPilot has removed the ability to do, making the video no longer relevant (As far as IVAO goes, still useful on installing other collections as the process is the same) . So why now did they choose to go after him on this? 

Thanks

IVAO have agreed to immediately drop the suspension against Matt. They have contacted YouTube to release the ban

Order is restored to the universe.
