Evil Designers Guide to Copying Patents

I'm going to tick off some patent owners. :P

1) Patent owners are not god and see everything everywhere.
Play the odds...There's a good chance of never being discovered.
2) Some copied tech can be epoxy encapsulated. Is a patent owner
going to spend days picking away at epoxy to see if it's a copy?
Maybe filing off chip numbers will help.
3) Deny copying the patent.. I didn't make that! :)
Be a non-existent, unregistered, unlicensed company.
4) Find out if the patent owner is poor.. Most likely the person is
too broke for a patent legal battle.
5) Avoid mass production of the copied patent.
6) Have the copied patent made overseas. Have it disguised as another
product when it's imported.
7) Maybe improve or degrade the patent so that's it's different.
8) Don't release schematics. Maybe have fake schematics too.
9) If you're not making much money on the copied patent.. You think
you'll get sued over a few hundred dollars of profit?
10) Go ahead copy away..When discovered, perhaps make a deal with the
patent owner for licensing and paying back royalties.. There might be
enough profit to go around.
If the patent owner is greedy, then layoff everybody, liquidate the
company and start all over again by copying somebody else's patent.
11) Have you heard of any stories of people going to jail for patent
infringement?
12) Get ready to mass produce the patent just before the patent
expires.
