    It still doesn't add up, though. Consumers aren't just paying for an end result, they are paying for every aspect of the product. If they purchased it under the premise that it contained the same technology that was advertised in cutaway view within your Company's marketing literature, then that's what they should receive for their money spent.

    What if, on a whim, Corsa/APR discovered that filling a muffler casing with 4 lbs of human feces yielded the same sound-canceling properties as the patented RSC technology? Under your business model you could sell that product as being RSC technology simply because it has the same end, yet different means. I suppose this would be one of the "trade secret" approaches as opposed to the patented ones?

    Its painfully obvious that in APR/CORSA's mind the answer is yes.

    4 lbs of human shit is perfectly acceptable as "RSC" since it eliminates drone and could be considered a trade secret.
