WC IL | A patent is only worth what you are willing to pay to defend it. If the product is successful, count on someone copying it. Then you get to decide whether it is worth hiring lawyers to defend your patent.
Have a couple of friends who designed some products that made it to market in a widespread manner. Both partnered with an existing company to manufacture, market, and distribute their product, and they don’t regret their decision. One received a patent just to say he had created something that got a patent, fairly long process. | |
