Scroll Saw book designs copyright?

[Jose Quinones]

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been discussed a gazillion times. If you can redirect me to the real thread, I'll appreciate as well.

I have found Patrick Spielman books to be an excellent source for vector cutting designs. There are some designs I would like to use but on the book can not find any form of copyright protection statement. Since the book clearly offers the designs to be repeated on a scroll saw, what kind of regulation there is agains me replicating one of these designs more than once?

Mr Spielman unfortunately died on 2004, so there is little chance I can ask him what policy he would like to abid to. What do you guys recommend? Thanks for yout input!

I would send a request/question to the publisher. I have noticed several variations on copyright statements relative to scroll plans. Some have 10 as a limit some have no limits. When in doubt get pice of mind from the publisher. If Patrick was the publisher then I do not know what to tell you.

Good luck,
Bob
