Ok I had an Idea and built a working prototype. I have researched patents and found both a similar patent already exists and an actual company that is selling it. I can make it for about half the price and am targeting a new Niche I know will explode in the coming years.

So far my neighbors think it's a great idea and I will look into seeing how much someone is willing to pay for it.

1. Because a patent exists already but my product is different in form but not function do I even need a patent?

2. Forum Has anyone had any experience with these guys? Are they Legit and honest? Or am I giving up too much control?

3. Should I just wait until I sell a few before I look into patenting?
