The problem was that WP held a patent on spray "washing" from 1959 for the Combo, which was long expired so I would guess the battle was over what Tom said about a design patent as those can be issued in no time at a later date. The funny thing is no one ever mentioned the spray rinse drain patent from 1938 the Bendix held. I don't even see why WP won its 1959 Patent in light of the earlier Bendix patent.
Any lawyers out there monitoring ?????????
