My boss actually told me to patent it and sell it back to the company, her boss agreed. The whole intellectual property, patents, lawsuits kinda deal scares me.

It's a very common need in my field.



Sounds like it is time for a bidding war. Become the only consultant for this product and have these useless updates periodically that only you can install and charge big money.

When I was in college I worked for a. Construction company that built large things (I worked on a hospital. )

The policy was if you found something that saved them money and they used your idea then you got half the money saved.

A few people were cut large checks.
