Can anyone clear up wither or not any of the US Mold Mfg's, are making and selling production molds that have been trademarked and or have patents? Furthermore how does one identify if such molds may or may not infringe upon these patents/trademarks... It's my understanding that obtaining patents as well as trademarking such products takes and awful lot of time and money, yet numerous folks have been sent cease and desist letters. Is this in an effort to scare one from actually selling a similar product that has not in fact been patented, or do they really have a patent. Which goes back to the initial question, how does one identify wither they have a patent or not? ( Not mentioning Mold Specifics) and I'm not talking about the oversea manufactures.

Ok, I have read all the threads on the site referring to the good, bad, and ugly regarding patents, knock offs, and attempting to get a lure out to a lure manufacture. Has anyone actually gone through the process successfully and created a lure, patented it, had attorneys draft NDA and non-compete agreement, trademark...then marketed said patent pending shape to a mfg and license it to them for the typical cash +3% or even just the 3% all without ever trying to mfg and sell it themselves first. Most of the ones i've heard about all have mfg and sold it themselves first. I do know 1 guy that works directly with a mfg to make flies and the mfg pays him 3% of sales royalty. Are there success stories other than this one guy? any and all input is appreciated
