re: Anyone know someone who invented something and made some money?

I have two patents that are personal. Two others that my name is on and some others that are titled to company.

Only one is currently worth a shite. The others are there and have to monitored to see if “someone “ is trying to steal it.

I was contacted by a Chinese group that developed a product that had multiple patent infringements. They were offering cash to tell them what they were doing wrong.

Even funnier was that what they beer trying to duplicate was my competitor. I know the guy well. I told him and we.both got a good laugh about it.
