Morale: If you do not have a gadzillion dollars to defend your rights, your patent is not worth the paper it is printed on. Other option is to get the patent with the intention of selling it to a big player at something that seems like a lot of money to you, probably seems like a small amount of money to the big player, and will allow the big player to avoid any legal entanglements. The success of that approach will depend on how lawsuit-averse the big company is. Contact the big player as soon as you know they're violating your patent and offer them a license. You might even contact the big players as soon as your patent is accepted so that there's no question that the big players knowingly and intentionally violated your patent. At the very least, get it patented. If you patent it and some company with deep pockets violates the patent and you cannot defend it, all you've lost is the patent filing fees. But if you're lucky you might be able to earn a lot of money later from licensing. Regards, Craig Steiner |
