Doesn't matter if it's patented or anything like that, it's still their design lol they thought of it and produced it first, others that used that design just copied it from them. I don't care that Raptor copied the design though, I'd dislike the look of those bars either way but it's just annoying how no one wants to admit that the design is copied because they don't want to admit they like the look of Bols for fear of being thought of as "uncool" for liking bars known as the ultimate kickless fly out rat bars.
