Hypothetical question on patents

Sure,

Don't lose your fire... be thoughtful about where you direct it.

I survive as a "little guy" because I enable my clients to profit by my inventions. I supervise the manufacturing and also come up with the next "rev". Never play all your cards in one shot... always keep an ace up your sleeve. I think most inventors come off as dis-ablers (stumbling blocks), hence the way they are treated. Greed begets greed... service begets $$.

It might an interesting exercise to do the research. But, which patent would you rather own; the priniciple of FM transmission and reception, or the silly little circuits that make it happen? Might be a poor example, but you get the drift.

HAW HAW! Knee slapper, that one.

:cannotbe: 🙄 :whazzat: :dead: :whacko:

One of my favorites is the delusion by an inventor (been there myself, in ways. 🙄 ) that the things they invent or create, while in the employ or pay of a given company..somehow belong to them, not the company that paid their wage. Then they rail that they've been ripped off. I guess they've never looked at how the law treats such things...hhhmmm?
 
Good stuff and bad

Wow. A lot of DIYers know a lot about patents, much more than the common person or even the common general practice attorney. I am very impressed.

However, there are some issues I see here and without going through all these posts with a huge write-up, I can see a few misconceptions.

If any of you are serious about patent issues, please email me offline. I'm probably the guy you want to talk to.
