"I've noticed that Ken Van Dieren has something similar listed on eBay, and he has had the audacity to include
a "patent pending" notice with his version of the tool. ... But he did not invent this,"
Regarding Clay's assumption on the "patent pending" of the wood handled hackle pliers the copyright symbol is
for the name of the tool "Gimp Grabber" not the tool itself. I copyright all of the names of the tools I make
but cannot do so for the tools itself. I certainly did not invent roller pillows, stands and other tool but I
did create the individual designs that are used.
I think it would be hard for anyone to claim inventing a new lace tool in this day and age. I am sorry that
Clay misunderstood the symbol and would apologize for creating a situation that she would think I do such a
thing.
