Thank you Matt,
That is very interesting indeed.
I did not realise Bosch had a trademark for sds-plus, (thank you for letting me know about that)
I will have to seriously do some research and think about the problems that this might have
I will look at the patents etc.
My gut instinct with this one is that I might be all right?
It,s a bit like someone who has thought up the idea of shovels and patents it, but then everybody else makes them, if that sort of makes you see my side of it.
My gut instinct is because there are so many companies making sds plus drills, there probably has not been any come back to them all from the designer of the drill bit and chuck assembly, although I am expecting a lot of flack to come onto this page now
. either that or they are all paying royalties to someone
As someone who has done 2 patent applications in the past, I realise the seriousness of the patent issues at stage and will fully respect them.
Like I say I will now look carefully at all the patents applied for and granted.
I can assure anybody on here I did not buy this thinking of the patent issue, although I should have done with forethought.
Anyway, thanks for your input.
Have a good day
