Ingenuity Precision powder trickler

Gotta love the patent process. It never stops a company from claiming they invented something that has been around for at least 10 years prior to their application. I've still got a PACT dispenser/scale combo that I haven't used in 10 years, so I know it was around long prior to these. Lawyer makes money on both ends. Patent in hand, immediately send out cease & desist letters.

Don't see a date on this article but the PACT unit was also sold as an RCBS version before the Chargemaster came out. I actually called PACT and asked if they were going to be selling the new powder combo and they said there wasn't a new one. Had to tell them I just saw a demo of one.

That’s a win. What system you gonna be using it with?

That and the fact that the lifespan of some products has peaked or is completely over before you can even get the patent issued.

Smart business people have told that, for consumer goods, one has about six months to make enough money to pay lawyers to stop infringing products.

This is a broken system, it discourages innovation.
