Again, it's semantics. If you own the tooling, you do have complete
control over that particular tooling. But that does not necessarily
mean that you have the right to prevent anyone else from creating their
own tooling to produce the same part.
That is the point I was attempting (and perhaps poorly) to make.

P.S. I have been down that tooling road myself! (just tooling along, so
to speak) :)
