knockoff ILLusion and Dazzler (in black and white)

[daniel0731ex]

what i meant is that a knockoff company is a company copying other's design. it's obvious that a KO company just copys other patents, otherwise it wouldn't be called a knockoff company

Uh, that's clearly not ALL they do. For the purposes of cubing a knockoff company is just one that sometimes copies preexisting puzzles. Just think for a second, how many Chinese mass-produced puzzles have we seen recently that were not protected by packets and not already being produced? Quite a few. How about the edge-turning void cube, for instance?

The thing you have to realize is that just because someone has a patent for something does not mean they will produce it. What's the point of having the patent, then? The community wants puzzles and if only one company will produce a given puzzle then it is obvious that lots of people will buy it from them.

well, so it's ok for a company to make KOs while making small improvements occasionally?

The Dazzler KO looks horribly tacky.
