Re: Real metal Patent on our trucks
Agree with DWCSR. This is one of the original patents for a '56 truck filed in 12/55. It carried a term of seven years. If a manufacturer wished to make panels for that truck to sell for profit during that seven year period they would have to ensure they paid license fees or made the panels significantly different (or improved) in some way not readily apparent to the layman. After seven years the patent would expire and anyone could make replacement panels.
