I think many would agree that having a product is one thing and marketing, selling and supporting it is another; they are mutually exclusive and have an impact on the success of the product. Can your company do it all? You might have to balance your equation by the number and ease of contacting prospective customers. Looks like 10 units/year? That's $250,000/year minus manufacturing, support staff, advertising, training, marketing and all that. You can always hire consultants to assist the start up phase or even study other potential market(s). OTOH, collecting the small sales commission is easy and safe. Like it10d suggested, retain the patent and license the rights to the big company; yeah, and get a lawyer experienced in this area.
