pattern in the possession of the molder.
B.  If a customer does not claim possession from a molder of a
die, mold, form, or pattern within three (3) years following the

or pattern shall be transferred by operation of law to the molder
for the purpose of destroying or otherwise disposing of such die,
mold, form, or pattern, consistent with this section.
C.  If a molder chooses to have all rights and title to any die,
mold, form, or pattern transferred to the molder by operation of
law, the molder shall send written notice by registered mail, return
receipt requested, to the chief executive office of the customer or,
if the customer is not a business entity, to the customer at the
customer's last-known address indicating that the molder intends to
terminate the customer's rights and title by having all such rights

and title transferred to the molder by operation of law pursuant to
this section.  Such notice shall include a statement of the

and title of the customer, except patents and copyrights, shall
transfer by operation of law to the molder.  Thereafter, the molder
may destroy or otherwise dispose of the particular die, mold, form,
or pattern as the molder's own property without any risk of
liability to the customer.
2.  This subsection shall not be construed in any manner to
affect any right of the customer under federal patent or copyright
law or federal law pertaining to unfair competition.
