Bringing a new product to market

[GuestUser112]

Hello Fastlaners,

I have developed a new product that does not exist on the market. It fulfills a need which no other product fills. Now, I haven't manufactured them yet, but that's a simple process. I have validated it by bringing it to several dozen people in my target demographic, and 85% of them have pre-ordered them. I am in the process of building a brand that is identified by my product, which is entirely unique.

I just have one problem.

My product could easily be copied. Any manufacturer could start producing it and selling to all the big stores that are my competition. I don't know if I could copyright it or patent it or not. Assuming I can't, how do I sneak past the competition to establish a foothold. My only idea is to do an incredibly aggressive marketing campaign to build my brand to gain a foothold in the industry before my idea is copied.

Here's a hint. My upper limit of revenue in this market is 12 billion.

Any ideas?
