: : Hello Ed, : : Sorry to change the subject but I thought I would drop a line and see what you think. I am the inventor of the Laser Fishing Rods Pat.# 6149286. Illuminated fishing rods that indicate when a fish has taken the bait at night and winner of the best recreational product of 2001 from Hammacher Schlemmer. : : I can now understand why my patent attorney asked me if I thought I was up to becoming an inventor. I have spent almost four years on the Laser Fishing Rods. Now that I feel I am ready to manufacture I feel I am really being taken advantage of. I am not a man of much wealth but a winning product and constitution I do have. I have had my product licensed by a manufacturing firm only for them to turn around and tell me that they do not see it within their interests to manufacture my product. This comes across very quire as I had given them my understanding of the earning potential of my product. As it would seem to me they have only signed the licensing agreement to acquire the nomenclature and assembly paperwork on the Laser Fishing Rods. Now that they have backed out of the licensing agreement I have posted a note to the investors in the Laser Fishing Rods and to the consumers on my web site. For this I have been threatened with a defamation lawsuit. And this after I was willing to allow 90% of the profits from my products sales to be collected by this manufacturing firm. Getting involved with this manufacturing firm was only done because I am unable to fund mass production through my own means. I made every effort possible in order to help this manufacturing firm even clearing my calendar to be at their disposal and they did not take advantage of this as well. The defamation lawsuit seems to be a measure taken by this manufacturing firm to keep me quite about how bad a company they really are. I have no intentions of making a mockery of this company as they need no help as I have found when I contacted one of their referenced companies on their web site.This company has had nothing but problems coming from this manufacturing firm also. I had included with the nomenclature and assembly paperwork a list of contacts for manufacturing and distribution that would have covered a minimum of six countries and followed up with forwarded emails from other retailers in other countries that were interested in retailing the Laser Fishing Rods. None of these contacts were ever investigated by the manufacturing firm that licensed the Laser Fishing Rods for manufacturing. Now that I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to work with the incompetence of this manufacturing firm I am forced to move on with the fears of them copycatting my product and without the money I had when I started with them. : : I would like to inform any other inventors out there to watch out for the patent contests the manufacturing firms and the television ads. If it looks to good to be true forget about it its not worth it. The only way most products make it to the market today is through hard work and if you don't believe this just try it. : : : : Perplexed, : : : : Wylie Wiggins : : at www.wylierods.com : : I would be interested to know if there would be anyone willing to working with me in order to injection mold two parts that would be used for a lot of the different models of the laser fishing rods I build. I will be glad to include this work into the investment program I have started for the Laser Fishing Rods. : : : : : Dear Mr. Wiggins, : Just getting a patent is not a royal road to sucess. : Some businesses flourish without patents.
