Which would you rather have, a product with a patent that flopped, or a successful product that is vulnerable?
BTW, any product is vulnerable if it's successful. Anyone can make slight changes to your idea and come on to the market or steal the idea outright if they are financially strong enough.

So true. It takes a boatload of time and effort to get a patent and then ,as milt says, someone with financial backing can easily swipe it once you prove it's a successful product.
