autolite specializes in copper core if they do iridium thats cool but be weary about it and at the first sign of problems pull them....I dont know about that patent thing w/ the iridium but it can be swayed w/ design and MFG not the materials used. I think the silverstones were Iridium too. AC Delco makes Iridium plugs ,UberPower makes em, HKS Makes em , they even cross reference copper and iridium, nickel castings and more. SO its all in the design.
