Hmmmm. From this quote from the GoLite website it seems that the term
"Variable Geometry Beak" would be the term being protected with the trade
mark, and the claim would be for a beak that "automatically changes the
angle with the height of your pitch."

That is a far cry from claiming all tarps using a beak are stealing from Ray.

Looks like another case of a disciple being over-protective of the master.
