Marks Lures Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 There is the big guy and the little guy with out money and good ideas. Sometimes the mold makers will help and sometimes they will try to sell you what they have. Look for a Civil Liberties kind of lawywer to post just how to word the "new free public lure design" so that it can not be patent later by a big company. Really I have many ideas, I don't have the money for patents or copyrights. Big companies will want the ideas for free. I would ragther figure out a way to just disclose the idea as public property and see someone just enjoy or make a couple of bucks off my idea. Who cares the big guy will screw you in the end unless there is a way to make it a freeware design. The current mold makers respect the other mold makers and that is good it is real "American Business", My 2 cents is that I have heard comments that we are behind the Japanese, by at least 2 years for lure design, trust me this is not true. The Japanese think Bass and Bluegill are garbage fish, I asked a Japanese expat at work, to be friendly and something to do while he was here, to go bass fishing last year and he said, "Mark-san bass are garbage. Why would you like to fish for them?" Please Buy American, Fish American, and how can we share new ideas for (the small struggling) Americans.

JSC Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 ???????? Would like to see a "Law Confirmed" comment on this. I would like to add ... Please this is No Offense to any one. Knocking off a lure by a big company is to be expected .. they are in business to make money ..... If you were in their place what would you do ???? (I was knocked off hard back in the 50's ... so been there done that) Just my 2 cents worth JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
