I kinda gave up on inventing stuff (well physical output anyway) .... I still have them in my mind.
Do you want to know why I kida gave up? It is my understanding that copyright laws are so hard to implement. One guy invented a 'chop stick on one end and fork on the other end' to cater to Americans. It was supposed to be a big hit.
However, a big manufacturer literrally marketed the same exact thing. As this was a clear violation of his copyright, he attempted to hire a lawyer. I believe the lawyers said, "Well, we require $250K (or something like that) before we even lift a finger." Not sure what the ultimate outcome of this.
There were others like this one! Go search the web...
I do not mean to bring bad news; actually, I am happy to read that perseverance and ingenuity is still around; thus, I responded to this thread.
Good luck.
