New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts?

@Frank - are you ready to retire on regular monthly royalty payments? I know some good IP attorneys. ;-)

Alas even if patented a manufacturer with deeper pockets than the inventor can simply buy one reverse engineer it and come out with their own.

Hi Doug,

even with an IP contract in place, you are still at a situation where a corporation with deep pockets can do what they want to litigate the life out of the small guy.

sadly it happens and many corporations operate by simply comparing the numbers and if it is determined that stealing a patent or ignoring an IP contract will make more $$$ in the long run, that is what is done.

i guess what i am saying is that contracts and patents are only needed to protect you from bad people. if the bad people have 10X+ the resources of you they can simply void the contract by litigating the small guy into the poor house.
