I'm a bit confused how they can do that, as hasn't their patent for the bricks etc. expired?

- DuskStar 7y agoThe answer is simple - by lying, or by not understanding what rights they have. There's no repercussions, so why not?

Even if the threat's not credible, my understanding is the threatener can often force the victim to spend tens or hundreds of thousands in legal fees, not to mention inconveniences like having to spend hundreds of hours talking to lawyers, showing up and testifying in a faraway courtroom, etc.
