I'v designed and built a prototype of a product that can be used to make manufacturing/assembling things easier. It holds parts in any position and can be rotated 360 degrees. I'v tried the "INVENTION COMPANY" route before and found out quickly, what a scam they are. I know filing for a patent is the "smart" thing to do, but who has the money to pay huge lawyer fees to fight a large company with deep pockets. Sure a patent shows its my invention, but its me that has to take them to court. And pay all the lawyers fees. All a large company has to do is change your invention slightly or reverse engineer your idea alittle and make it their own. Anyways, I'm thinking of just manufacturing my product myself and throwing it up for sale on the internet. I dont want to spend all my time and money sweating over a patent. Someone copies it, oh well. That doesn't mean I cant keep selling my own. Comments or suggestions?
