    Hi Walter, First, pls don't think I was making any moral analysis. That's not my job, probably b/c I suck at it. When I think about what you said, I see that your move was actually a win/win/win. Everyone benefitted. I have some extra water on my brain if you want some to dilute your...

    Hi v.Odds, Please have patience w/ me. "Basic supply chain stuff" is rocket science for me at this point. The idea of focusing on brand is, however, common sense and I should have figured that out. I owe you on that one pal b/c you saved me $$$. Thanks muchly, Greg

    Hi v.Odds, What you said is good logic and good incentive to be the first one w/ the juice. Let's try a more apt hypo...the proverbial better mousetrap. Somebody from Alaska buys 1000 of my Killer Mousetraps and pastes his label over mine. (no revenue yet to sue) Alaska is a pretty...

    Thanks v.Odds, This is good stuff you're dishing out. Presently I not just "not big enough", I'm non-existent. That being said I like your thinking process. At some point I'll have to do some contingency planning and budget the risk of litigation. A crystal ball would be nice too. Greg

    Hi War, That is a really cool idea. Thanks so much! It really resonates w/ me b/c if I know a bit about someone I can always find something fun to talk about. At that point it is a very good bet they will like me (not in FB sense.) Then, unless thery're super famous/paranoid, I can probably...

    Hi v.Odds, I like your posts and how you say everything in plain English for slow folks like me. I'm definitely putting the cart before the horse but something jumped out at me that I'd like to ask you. Can't that idea of putting your label on someone else's product come back to bite you...

    Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like

    Hi Ramble, Thanks for the ideas. How did you research who's producing what in China? Totally random example: I go to Walmart and see a bicycle helmet and I think I can use the product/process in my business. Who do I talk to? Thanks, Greg

    Thanks Walter, I checked out the Fiverr site. It was a great suggestion. At $5 I won't feel bad if I mess up a few times. Greg

    Hi Walter, That is great stuff about labelling. I feel like this is going to be an important consideration for my invention. The idea of going for quality labelling is interesting too. I've noticed when someone gives me a fancy business card it really does make an impression. I may not use...

    Hi Walter, Your post taught me a lot (some of which makes me squirm, but maybe it's better to squirm now.) That labelling emphasis hit a direct chord in my brain. For my invention a good label may be the key to the castle. Now I'm just going to file it away in my subconcious and wait for a...

    I got it!!! I'm going to call it the "Bazooka". (joking) But seriously, I did what you said and I think I have a good one. What is a "usp"? You are a huge help.

    Hi Day, That is great advice about talking about details of my invention. There's no need to and plenty of risk. Aren't you worried that someone will copy-cat your invention before you get it fully patented? I know someone might still rip off my invention but I will do everything humanly...

    Thanks Matt, I'm new here and I'm pleasantly surprised at how helpful and generous people are (like you.) It is refreshing and I hope a precursor of all the good coming into our lives. Greg

    Licensing Question...

    Hi Matt, Thanks for your post. My instincts tell me that you're on to something that may be helpful to the Klaw and me. I have a very low-tech invention I'm probably going to patent. (To lawyer up or not to lawyer up...that is the question.) I'll tell you more about it when I become less...

    Hi Day, I'm struggliing w/ something that you may be able to relate to--paranoia. I'm worried someone will steal my invention so at present I'm in a dilemma. You and the others here are (presently) strangers. So I am reluctant to reveal details. On the other hand, I don't know if I'll get...

    Hi Timmy, I'm at almost the same stage w/ my invention (super low-tech.) I talked about the patent atty. dilemma below (apply for pro bono.) I'm going to need help w/ the drawings for the patent application. Any suggestions? What did you mean by "conceal w/ in some of the know-how"? The...

    Hi Day, Wow, you and I are at the same identical place. I filed the provisional (no need for an atty.) and I'm doing the research on the provisional application process. I suggest applying to USPTO's Patent Pro Bono Program. It cost me $55. It may be different in VA. It will take about a...
