colorable deviation

Read a random definition: add-on interest

A quick definition of colorable deviation:

Colorable deviation refers to a small change made to a product or process that does not really change it, but is only made to distinguish it from an existing patent or copyright. This is done to avoid infringing on the earlier patent's claim. It is also known as colorable alteration and is commonly used in intellectual property law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A colorable deviation is a small modification made to a product or process that does not substantially change it, but is only made to distinguish it from an existing patent or copyright. It is a change made solely to avoid literal infringement of an earlier patent's claim.

Example: Let's say a company has a patent for a red bicycle with a bell on the handlebars. Another company wants to make a similar bicycle, but they don't want to infringe on the first company's patent. So, they make a blue bicycle with a horn on the seat instead of a bell. This is a colorable deviation because the changes made are small and do not substantially change the product, but they are made to avoid infringing on the first company's patent.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a colorable deviation is a small change made to a product or process to avoid infringing on an existing patent or copyright. The changes made are not significant enough to make the product substantially different, but they are enough to distinguish it from the original product. This allows the second company to avoid infringing on the first company's patent while still producing a similar product.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
that's at least $300
