I guess I have the different mechanism & the fact that I'm in Canada, but I'd rather have some sort of agreement rather than have to fight over it. Even if I'm technically in the clear.

Their reply:

I hope all is well.

Although we make our rings of a single material, our patent covers a variety of materials including precious metals. I…

I think in this case the short, sweet version will be best to start. If they're smart, they'll think of the crossover audience idea themselves, but the fact that they're bothering you at all suggests they might not be smart.

Good luck!

Here’s what I’m thinking of sending. It’s a mashup of what @tara & @amy-crook have suggested.

What do you guys think?

“Oh! I can see how they might seem similar.
I appreciate your concern, but the materials and mechanics of our two items are quite different, also, mine is for and would be marketed to a completely different audienc…

OH Thank you @katie-franceschi! I was hoping it wasnt an Apple Only app! 🙂 Just downloaded it!

I initially made huge hashtag lists based on several searches and started using 27 per post, in different configurations until I found some that felt most effective. Now, I will simply…[Read more]

What does RFP stand for? I have done a lot of magazine work in the past 1.5 years, and the fees that designers are earning are definitely trending downwards while the rights that the publishers ask for are trending stricter. I have actually turned down a few gigs because we could not come to terms on either $$ or rights.

What type of garment…[Read more]

Good for you @dana-gervais! Congratulations!
