Re: Should I complete this patent?

Subject: Re: Re: Should I complete this patent?

Comments:
: : Nearly a year ago, I filed for a provisional patent on a technology process for my company. The patent would protect our fundamental way we do business. Unforutnately a few competitors entered the market before I could get funding, so I dropped the business. These competitors would be infringing upon my patent were I to complete the full patnent application and it were accepted by the US Patent Office. These companies who are infringing have revenues of almost $100 million. My questions are: Is it worth it for me to complete the patent and pursue the infringers for percentage of revenue? What percentage of cases are won when there is a clear infringement? Also, could I sell the patent to the competitor who wants to pay the most for it? : : Thanks, : : Aaron Roberts : If what you state is accurate, your scenario is : worth spending the money to speak with competent : patent counsel about. : Competent counsel will be able to review your : provisional patent application disclosure, : review the state of the art, review the possible : infringement and offer an opinion. Keep in mind : that even if you get a patent issued, obtaining : a license is not an automatic process. If the : potential infringers do not license from you, : enforcing the patent will be costly and time : consuming. Again, competent patent counsel : should be able to offer guidance.
