coating and wax. He broke two windshields and, as of the date of
the trial, had not solved this windshield problem. The J car is

The J car is only a prototype and is not intended for street
use. The design of the J car is unusual in that it has snap-out
upholstery, a dash that will lie flat, and a body attached by
only eight bolts. The body of the J car was intended to be used
to make a mold with which other car bodies can be made.
Although petitioner estimated the cost of making such a mold to
be $3,500, a figure he termed "not a big expense", he never made
the mold needed to reproduce the body. Petitioner suggested that
today he could make the J car for about $7,500 per car.
Petitioner explained that should someone purchase a copy of the J
car and the body of that vehicle be damaged, the owner could
order a new body from petitioner and easily reassemble the
vehicle. Petitioner suggested he could make such a replacement
fiberglass body for $300 to $350 in 1989 and $500 today.
Petitioner has never sought and does not have a patent on
the J car's design or on any of its parts, nor does he have any
plans of that design drawn up or otherwise reproduced. Most of
the J car was constructed from old or new parts of other types of
automobiles. Petitioner's principal contribution appears to have
been in the unusual and attractive shape of the fiberglass body.
The J car looks like an upscale two-seater sports car, but it
