Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 That's good to hear, do you know whether there'll be other digging tools to buy aswell as the forks? Quote Link to post
rob284 1,678 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Is the site by the original fella in n. ireland or are they copies. Quote Link to post
Digga123 53 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 The site is by the original fella. The design of the Sharptooth is patent protected so any copies sold will elsewhere be dealt with by legal action. Quote Link to post

Corkman 944 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) The site is by the original fella. The design of the Sharptooth is patent protected so any copies sold will elsewhere be dealt with by legal action. Patents cost a lot of money and for them to be legally binding the concept/ idea cannot have been in the public domain prior to requesting the patent and they usually take time to go through the patent search process. You would want to sell a lot of them to cover the cost of that? Also patents are usually country/ area specific. I bet chinese one's would sell well...... I have an old rusty one in my shed that I got gifted long before anyone made this a business? I'd say that would blow the patent legality apart. Show me the paperwork and I will believe you.

Corkman 944 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking of putting a patent on the Stainless steel T-bar.

jamie2004live 163 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 out of interest how much is he charging for one? A blacksmith i know does me and my mates eveything for a tenna, all we do is supply the spades metal etc. Think its a decent idea selling them but im just suprised most lads dont just go down the same route i did.

DigItDeep 15 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Really iv'e heard it all now. Taking a patent out on a digging fork. For all of them that there going to sell i really don't think it could be worth it, it's not a very big market there selling to these days. 2 Quote Link to post
