Attention CNC Zone members - you may be guilty of patent infringement!

[buscht]

You may have been doing this for years and not known that you are infringing on a valid US patent.

Please stop immediately or you may face legal charges or a least a visit from the fashion police!

LOL.... I'm not a barber (hair stylist?) so I can do my hair, or what's left of it any way I choose for personal use. ..Imagine enforcing THAT rediculous patent

Without commenting on the merits (hah) of that particular patent, as far as I know, there is nothing in the patent law that permits one to infringe a patent for personal use. IANAL.
