An example would be a restaurant purchases Kraft (registered trademark) foods barbecue sauce through the seller's restaurant wholesale division and then they receive a letter from Kraft (registered trademark) stating you cannot enhance our product in any way or sell it as a sauce you prepared for a profit. It is akin to saying a restaurant purchases base food products and then the restaurant is prohibited from using the ingredient in its preparation of the end product. Once the information is published it is absurd to say you cannot use the published material as a foundation to create a unique product. Secondly, I believe Beyer himself would have a difficult time establishing a proprietary violation. If you advised people to use a data seller such as DRF, and told them what information to use from the pps, DRF would have a very difficult time proving your selection process is based on copyrightable format and not the non-copyrightable information contained in the format. Your use of the DRF pdf format is a violation, because format is protected by their copyright. First of all the information contained in the pp's is not copyrightable. I believe DRF and Beyer do not have a strong position to stand on if you wish to continue publishing your method. I am going to weigh in your side regarding DRF's claims of proprietary issues.
