So is your friend, who builds these Mack cabs, from England too?

I never heard of anyone putting a patent on a model truck cab before. Seems rather impossible to do. Does that mean no one else can ever try building one of their own, as he could claim they are trying to copy it? You can only build a Mack cab like this one way. Anything anyone builds to match the real truck is going to be a copy now.

I could maybe understand the patent covering his one piece mold injected process and die, if that's how he makes them, but patenting a model, which is not licensed in the first place seems really conceited and backwards.
