	title of this thread your message I do not know how design patents were handled decades ago, but did many furniture companies just up and copy popular designs, without permission or license? It does seem like the differences that my chair has might cause it to be even more costly to manufacture than one made by Swedese, which seems odd if one were trying to simply produce an illegitimate copy. Even the person at Swedese said that mine appeared to be very finely made. It would be nice to think that mine was at least manufactured under license. I kind of wonder if Swedese did license the chair design to another manufacturer, like Dux, but stipulated that the chair had to be different enough so that it could be differentiated from a Lamino made by Swedese. Maybe that is just crazy talk on my part though. It still all seems kind of weird. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
