I don't believe CLYW has any sort of patent on the double rim.

Getting ownership of a design aspect of a yoyo is pretty much useless. It's extremely expensive, and it makes it so less yoyos are manufactured by other companies. I'm pretty sure none of the design aspects on the chief or the avant garde are copyrighted, patented or trademarked. It is expensive.

There are so few designs patented (not copywrited). No one would spend the money to do that. Only certain aspects of a yoyo. I.E. the way YYF does their hubstacks.

Copyright covers intellectual works like music, writings, art, and movies.
Patents cover inventions.

You can't "copyright" a design idea, you can patent one, but not one like that.

In the Us, you can patent basically anything, as long as it wasn't previously patented. |
