Anyone who does illegally copy Castle's designs will be in serious poop with the law- liable to a very hefty fine.
Same reason why Mike is waiting for the patent on the slipperential to come through, so he can throw the book at that company in Hongkong ripping off his design. Only another 2-3 years to wait probably...
