    how different are the frames of the Aprilia Shiver and this bike?
    They did not copy the frame to be identical,. However they did copy the geometry of the frame.

    I am fairly sure that it the geometry that matters, but wonder if that is actually patent protected?
    The engine is a copy of a Yamaha engine and the frame a copy of an Aprilia frame.


    The first question is are the designs protected under patent laws?
    The next question is did they contract with those that own the rights or not?


    You know that it has been said that you can indict a ham sandwich, this is a bit more then a ham sandwich….


    So if you sell Aprilla and or Yahmaha, even if only as an individual dealers, then you file an indictment and its up to the relative parties to provide the courts with documents that prove the manufacturer has the rights to sell them.


    That could open the proverbial Pandora’s box, who got money and was there contracts involved or not?


    Dealer that loose sales have a case, they have often exclusive rights to sell, so the designs cannot be secretly shared without telling them, they certainly cannot be stolen either.
