Brick layering is shifting layers just slightly so that they interlock with the adjacent row, like bricks side view on a wall. See the video for more clear explanation.

Cnc kitchen did a video on it as well https://youtu.be/5hGm6cubFVs

    My take: A patent just keeps you from selling the product… So unless the slicer is sold, it’s okay?

      At it’s most basic, a patent is a piece of paper you can wave around and hopefully scare off others from your idea. But, until a judge somewhere bangs a gavel and says Yea or Nay, it’s nothing more than asswipe. A patent fight is insanely expensive-- even for multi-national corpos. Hence all the cross licensing agreements among them.

      Source: I’ve held a minor niche patent, (it wasn’t worth the money spent beyond the cool factor), and I knew a person who held a patent on what was basically a rectangle with drilled holes in it. He wanted to sue another manufacturer that was was doing a direct knock off. He got told straight up 1.You can’t afford it. 2. It wouldn’t stand up in court. 3. So don’t bother.

      Nope patents protect replication and use. Doesn’t matter if it’s sold, given away, or used internally by a company.
