I will add that we nor any company is required to offer royalties on non-patent protected items nor were we pursued by the items original inventors. We approached them in good faith and offered each generous payments in appreciation for their innovation.
Portawrap - Not patented, we pay an up front royalty (more than buckingham does) to the original inventor Norm Hall, Scott Prophet declined because of his involvement with SherrillTree
MCRS - Designed with Matt, pay him up front royalties on every unit made (not sold, made)
ABR Thimbles -...
Right now, products made by TreeStuff in the USA include but are not limited to: MCRS, RopeRunner, ABR Thimbles, Portawrap, AFB TS1, APTA, and more. And I dont see those products as knock offs.
Our ABR Rigging Thimbles are made by one of two partnered companies we work with here in Indianapolis. Not every product is suited for US production but we are doing our best to create jobs in our area by bringing not only Asian, but European sourced manufacturing home.
I have been super pleased with our efforts to source products in our state of Indiana . Here is a short video we put together.
