Align helicopters have improved greatly over time. But is this due to them taking ideas from other manufacturers? I know it does go on, but I believe - and i may be wrong - that Align will stop at nothing to take any good idea they see and then use their massive industrial plant to churn out product with their name on it. This takes the kudos and profits away from the original designers of ideas. I know patents should be created or copyright enforced but i dont think there is enough money in the scheme of things to warrant such litigation if a company does breach such laws.

I wonder how long until align brings something out like a banshee or TDR.
