Anyone have any experience trying to lease a patent for a knife?
I have what I believe is a very marketable new lock mechanism for a folding knife. I am working through the patent process now and should have it submitted in a few weeks. The next step, at least in my mind, is to contact a major knife company and try to lease the patent. I am not planning to produce enough on my own to make it worth while. Would love any insight on how you go about making the connections with a knife company to begin these types of negotiations.
Thanks!
