Yes, I have in the past but do not bother much anymore since protecting a
patent is cost and time prohibitive. The only interest I have in patents is
patented property that carry with them supreme, complete and unchallengeable
ownership. California is famous for trying to challenge (tax) patented
property but has lost every case in Supreme Court for over 100 years so
there is some hope.

Hi all:
Adam have you ever applied for a design patent for your Idea? they arent
very expensive for an individual. Here is a link to the patent office.
Photos automatically have a copyright for the person who took the photo
without any application needed. if the design was taken from a photo it
could be copyright infringement. but things like that are usualy settled out
of court for pennies on the dollar.
Cheers

Yes, I have witnessed or heard first-hand of this type of greed and lack of
respect for others honest work for decades. It only seems to be getting
worse accelerated by a poor economy. This watch company is just an example
on the high-end of the spectrum. One of my friends, who was working on a
survey vessel, witnessed a seaplane wreck on Lake Washington and rerouted it
to the rescue. Inside the wreckage was none other than John Nordstrom who
was more concerned with salvaging his briefcase than rescuing his wife. I
will not let my wife buy her shoes or boots from Nordstrom's knowing how
unsavory they are.
On the other end, I have given people the opportunity to make an honest
dollar several times but it never ceases to amaze me how quickly they burn
out from a little bit of hard work and try to find shortcuts (entitlements
and outright stealing). Plagiarism and theft are one and the same as far as
I am concerned. In the once fine,avocation of meteorite collecting,
piggy-backing, plagiarism, lack of honoring commitments, material swapping
and theft have become all too common for my tastes.
I could write a book on the subject but feel it would be better to focus on
other pursuits.

I can confirm what Adam has related. The "Ambassador" slice encased in it's
cutting edge engineered, airtight portal was, for a short time, the most
extraordinary object entrusted to me, The piece was perfect in every
presentation. He who designed the portal was a genius and what was presented
and contained within was the most intensely recognizable, inspiriring slice
of the Moon I will ever see in my life. To hold it in my arms and gaze at
this enormoous, unblemished, priceless, celestial object was akin to having
a sexual experience.
The idiots who didn't have the education, intellect, or sensitivity to
realize what they were trying to steal from Adam will remain just
that....idiots.

Yes, I proposed the idea to Louis Moinet about a watch with a lunar face
using NWA 5000 which actually looks like the Moon. They copied my Jules
Verne portal design and name after I provided them with images of the first
slice of NWA 5000. The first complete slice of NW 5000 was mounted in a
custom machined case which looked like a portal. I renamed the piece from
the "Jules Verne Slice" to the "Ambassador Slice" after being plagiarized
by
this watch company. They named their first lunar watch the "Jules Verne"
and even had a mini-portal in the side of it to view a tiny cheap piece of
a
Dhofar lunar meteorite.
Dhofar lunar specimens were the least expensive at the time and yet they
want millions of dollars for the watches.
How original?

Most expensive watches of the year
"THERE’S NOTHING that conveys your financial status more than what you
wear on your wrist. The world of luxurious timepieces has expanded in
recent times as technology, innovation and ornamentation combine to
produce watches that are truly unique and spell class and elegance apart
from money. Notably, the brand that features the most is Patek
Phillippe, but not as number one. Venture Capital Post has listed the 10
most expensive watches sold across the globe in 2014:
***
Louis Moinet Meteoris watch: The history attached to this watch is what
makes it so valuable. Designer Moinet decided to use pieces of
meteorites to make a set of watches. He collaborated with meteorite
hunter Luc Labenne to collect pieces from the moon, a Mars meteorite and
an asteroid. The result was the creation of four extremely rare
tourbillon watches worth over $4.5 million each."
