If a customer does not take possession of a die, mold, pattern, or form located in
this state within three years of the date it was last used, and no agreement in writing
between the customer and the molder is made to the contrary, all of the customer's

receipt requested, to the customer at the address, if any, indicated in the agreement
pursuant to which the molder gained possession of the die, mold, pattern, or form,
and to the customer's last known address indicating the molder's intention to transfer
all of the customer's rights and title to, and interest in a die, mold, pattern, or
form. All of a customer's rights and title to, and interest in a die, mold, pattern, or
form shall transfer to the molder unless within a period of one hundred twenty days
of the date the molder receives a completed return receipt or a report of nondelivery
of the notice, the customer takes possession of or arranges with the molder to take
possession of or store the die, mold, pattern, or form. Subsequent to such period and consistent with federal patent and copyright law,
and any applicable state or federal law pertaining to unfair competition, a molder
