If anyone here that may be able to reproduce these baby's it would be a bonus for all the 914 owners. If so, let me know and I will trace these out and send you the tracings of the liners. The pictures are of the rear well liners. Let me know so I can trace these out and get them off before I install these. I'm only going to put liners in the rear wells since I have oil lines in the pass. side front I won't be installing the front liners on my car. The rear liners are going in. The are made of a flexable plastic with clips on each for install. They bolt on to the car where the rear valance meets the wheel well and other side connects where the rocker panel meets the well. Very simple install process, the clips that hold them are pop riveted on to the liners.

I'd be pretty freekin surprised if you could patent those- other than a design patent.
To be patentable, it must be novel. Nobody ever done fender well liners before? To get around a design patent (shape such as a beetle body or fender well liners) change something slightly. JC whitney sells beetle fenders with a disclaimer- buy in pairs- headlight height will be different........ Oh yeah, sold them or showed them to somebody (without a disclamer) before the application fining? That runs it into a 102 violation. Then the fender well concept has to pass the 103 novelty bar- combine any previous fender well patent with any other patent.... Engman worked at the same place I currently work. I also passed my patent bar, am a registered patent agent, and have years worth of training from their legal department. They have some of the most vicious patent issues in the world. Anybody need a patent? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Ken |
