I have bought a few thousand #1 ELW's the past year. One of my favorite hooks. Just a tad stiffer than the # 2 & 4's. Mustad will be coming out with a # 1 soon along with their 2 & 4's. The only thing Blakemore has is a trademark of the roadrunner image and name. They have never had a patent. Do-It had the patent and it has run out. Patent US5203105 - Horse head fishing lure - Google Patents
