Last year I posted about getting a patent for a new product we have developed. I had some good conversations with the sister of a Pelican here and will almost certainly go with her. Since then, we have another possible patent, more design than product.

But then I was talking to some smart folks the other day and they basically said that unless you've got serious 6-figures to back up the patent, don't waste your money.

The original product patent I believe is worth defending. the design patent not so much.

Anyone here have real experience defending a patent? Was it worth it? We have an investor lined up just for the patent, it's defense and product development. Wondering if that money would be better spent on product development and marketing.
