After the enormous success of Claveberg as a TOOL for trying out new ideas related to outdoor tools, and in particular cabins and their equipment, I can state that intelligent understanding of patent local rules will drastically influence the way how we will see these products in near future. In simple wording, the technology under patents combined with physical products, will change the way how some of us just try to listen what this customer requires. Again, patent regulations are something that are good for forcing people to think twice and perhaps more, before they fail to hear specific customers requests.
No doubts, Claveberg will affect the product development soon. For those of us who are involved in creation and appreciation of such products, combining engineering aspects with user friendly features, the huge marketing potential of earlier patents on essential technical solutions should be open at least to a debate.
On the other hand, changing and extending technology has always been the main source of competitiveness and market power, but what is true is that without academic understanding of patent local rules, the results are not that predictable.
Thus, as previous chapters and the current chapter of my small but educational blog indicate, being aware of the chances that patent local rules offer to ambitious engineers, will be one of the most important guides for those who attempt to outsmart others on the markets where outdoors equipment and tools are not just accessories, but tools that affect the success of the industry as a whole.
