   patents are nothing more than the goverment taking your hard earned money. So you get one , when its infringed you will need to spend more money in order to protect it.

   This isn’t true. A patent gives you the right to negoitate. No patent no negotiation. We have had lots of inventors get good licensing agreements because they had a good patent.

   Please forgive me but a large boxing company has infringed my patent and I am at a loss as to what to do. All attempts to negotiate with them have failed and I cannot afford $400 an hour.

   I am sorry to hear that. When we license a patent, the licensee usually handles this problem. I don’t blame you for being angry and at a loss for what to do next. Keep selling and try to get your cost down so you can beat them in the marketplace.

   thanks for the reply so soon. im trying to find an attorney who will take the case. It seems a lawsuit is the only way to get anywhere with this big boxing company. My position is to risk everything or to let it go. the fear of the unknown is great. I honestly believe if it goes to a jury in federal court that i have better than a 50 percent chance of winning. Do you know any one who would be interested in this? Contingency lawyers dont want it because the pay out is not enough. Thanks. Dave

    Hello again! no I have not found any one . I must say my opinion of lawyers is not too good.Having worked hard all my life I feel the only ones worth $400 an hour is God , Jesus and the holy ghost. No human is worth that kind of money. Everlast steals my invention and theres nothing I can do because patent litigation costs too much. I am making it my mission to let all my Martial arts friends know that everlast is bringing all their junk in from china.

    Hi Rita, nice intro video! I read some of your comments above and totally agree with your point on negotiation. A patent (regular or provisional) gives you the ability to negotiate. Even if you intend to market your product, as opposed to out-license it, a patent helps add a barrier between your property and your competition. Also, I have filed several provisional patents of my own and agree with the process you outlined in the video.
