<p>Chopstick Buddies are attachments to a plain chopstick. They are designed for beginners, and for a sizable population who cannot hold unaided the thumb pose required by the traditional, standard chopstick grip. <a href="https://youtu.be/sbVRqW3Gmwk">See Chopstick Buddies</a> on YouTube. What's the standard grip? <a href="https://youtu.be/VQ8HGQxHQ-I">See it</a> on YouTube.</p><p>While looking simple, Chopstick Buddies are a culmination of years of research on chopsticks. Our previous inventions including Ergonomic Marcosticks, Training Marcosticks and Finger Helpers directly lead to this latest innovation, Chopstick Buddies.

You can choose to follow this strict license for personal uses.</p><p>But we actually made a much more lenient license available, if you want to create derivative works, or commercialize these training marcosticks. Please consult the <a href="https://marcosticks.org/license/">Mark-and-Go Marcosticks license</a>. Here is a quick summary:</p><p>Utility patent applications for many training marcosticks have been filed. A few specific models were also detailed in design patent applications. But we are making all models FREE for everyone to print on their own, as long as you follow the Mark-and-go license.</p><p>You may upload these models to online model repositories, but only if you clearly label these as Marcosticks, as the license stipulates. You may make derivative work, but you will need to carry the same Marcosticks Mark-and-Go license with the same label requirement. You may even reproduce them in bulk, and sell them at profit, without paying marcosticks.org any royalty fees. Make sure you follow the Mark-and-go license, for commercial deployment which includes quality control checks.</p><p>For additional information, see <a href="https://markandgo.org/faqs/">MAG FAQs</a>.</p>
