See how this really works?

Actually, when I found out a major company had stolen my patented
product and contacted them, I got a flat "so, sue us", followed by
being hung up on. They have bigger lawyers than I, and they knew it
going in. That was an expensive lesson.

Ouch!

Exactly!

However, I can not shut off my inventor lobe, nor will they stop me
from life in the prototype lane. I have concluded that the ticket is
to get in and out of production (before being ripped off) to make
enough to cover expenses and perhaps buy a few new tools ; )

The silver lining to this lesson is that if anyone ever accuses me of
never having an original thought, I can prove otherwise.
