I am not in retail product sales or manufacturing that business is brutal in this open market.
If you have true intellectual product them patent it or else it will be knocked off 100 times over. It's how the open market we have operates.

I may be wrong but to get around the patent all that has to be changed is a small percentage like 10 or 15% so a patent really doesn't do much for you.
