sick of ims bearing

I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. I just left a comment on Pedro's video about the patent and he replied back saying that the "DOF" is patented. I asked him for the patent number, lets see what he comes back with.

I know they tried to patent it, but my understanding is the application was denied.

I have seen "patent pending" in their early literature, but now there is no mention of patents, nor will a search turn up one.

.....as many folks have posted, you can choose to just drive the car and not worry about this and take your chances.

The odds are it will not blow.

But if it does.....

I shipped my car to Jake Raby and he installed the “IMS Solution” in my car and I have put 30,000 miles on it.

If you want to replace your IMS, I highly recommend the “Solution”.

I am not saying you must change it.

I’m just saying if you ARE going to change it, get the “Solution” and be done with it.

I drive all over with no worry.

Priceless.

TuneRS web site still lists the DOF as patent pending.

As one who shepherded a patent claim through the process it can take years before it is finally granted. You have to educate the patent examiner in the technology and how your design differs from anything else (s)he comes up with to initially deny your claim on the basis that it is too similar to someone else's. Which means a combination of patent lawyers and technical experts. And each time into the Patent Office the "paperwork" waits till an examiner with the right background can get to it which can be years. An offshoot of an understaffed government agency.
