INVENTORS BEWARE!
Do you have
new idea? Do you want to register or patent it? Before you proceed, you should
read this:
I want to
share my experience with those of you who are dreaming that your patented
invention, if it is a hit on the market, will make you a millionaire…wrong!
I’m an
inventor who is holding several patents in the USA and also in the
International market.
Did you know
that it is not illegal to copy, manufacture, and/or sell a patented invention
in the USA? And if you are not aware of this startling fact, you will expend
time and money in developing a working prototype, and then hire an attorney to
do the research, if your idea does not have any conflict with another patent,
then you will expend several thousand of Dollars in legal and federal fees
trying to get your patent; and your idea will be published by the US Patent
Office worldwide.
If your
application is granted, then you will have a Patent, and unless you are
financially prepared to manufacture, promote, sell, etc., your product
yourself, then what are your options? Try to sell the patent; License it; Find
a partner…; etc.
If your
invention is a hit, the big companies will (legally) copy it and you will get
NOTHING but frustrations while they garner all the profits.
Sure, you can
sue them, but it will cost you a fortune! Be prepared to expend half a million
Dollars to start a lawsuit and the average lawsuit will cost you, in most cases,
two or three million in legal fees! And that’s for EACH infringement! Most of
us can’t afford this so you will give up; and that’s the strategy of the big
companies!
So my message
to you is: I want to discourage you from patenting or registering anything,
don’t expend money in attorney’s fees, because they won’t tell you all this up front
and the government will just take your money and will not give you any kind of
protection for your Intellectual Property.
I lost over
$150,000 in patent fees, and I can’t say that they stole my Patent because,
again, it is not a crime in this country to infringe a Patent, it is just a
civil matter; therefore Hailun Piano Co., together with Vienna International Inc., (who
are the culprits making thousands of Dollars with my invention) and I get
NOTHING!
Patents are
only good for the big companies and not for the little guy like me.
