It got out of hand like every thread that criticizes RIC policy.

No need to feel creepy. These designs are mostly in the public domain and have been copied time and again, as well as having been used as a jumping-off point for many fledgling amp builders and manufacturers.

That's right, many household names got here today by copying everything else that was going around and wasn't patented at the time, but now some, in their zeal for profit, forget that.
There's a huge difference between using licensed designs (as all the early amp makers did from Western Electric) or using designs that have come into the public domain, as opposed to plain old intellectual theft. If you actually had sweat equity in a unique and desirable design you'd understand.

I am glad, and you should be too, that no one ever patented the Spanish styled chordophone.

Of course I understand and thus every unique design I've personally created since 1975 has a copyright notice attached. I appreciate anyone who puts sweat into creating something original, unique, desirable, or useful even if that only amounts to cleaning public lavatories. But only those that actually do it, you understand, not the ones that just take the credit for, and reap the benefits of it.
So- you sell one of your copyrights to someone and you don't think they're entitled to profit from their ownership of it? Bizarre, if that's what you're saying.
Personally, I see "designs"- whether they are covered by patent, trademark, or copyright, as property no different than any other tangible item.

And well you may think that.
I have zero regard for leeches that appropriate others' sweat and tears, slap a patent on it, and take credit for something they had zero input in creating.
Zero regard. Zilch. Nada.
