Zernike,
I'd suggest that before you start paying high BSL fees
(BSL=blood sucking lawyers), you should get hold of one of the suspect
cameras and make sure they in fact are infringing any patent you may have,
as they may be may be "morally" guilty but "legally" right. I have never
seen the inside of any of your beautifully looking cameras, but I'd say that
one thing it can set yours apart is the film winding mechanism and the
sliding thing at the rear of the camera to cover/uncover the frame counters
for the different formats. They seem to have made changes in an effort to
differentiate theirs from yours (how legally successful, that is the
question). For instance yours seem to have the exposure wheel on the camera
itself, theirs may be separate. Theirs shutter is different that any of the
versions you sell them with. And I'd guess they have made some small
changes to the winding mechanism and the frame counter cover, too (although
they don't show a picture depicting the camera back in their web site.
If they in fact are legally wrong, get them and get them well!
