Current News Regarding the SAKA Device

This is a bit of a sidetrack but I think it's relevant. I have learned so much about sewing that I did not know before I came up with my unique design. Also a lot about patents and the professional knowledge that is needed to understand them. In all this thinking and going over other patents I started to think about one, the zipper. I thought, that has been around forever but what if a new designed could be developed that would make it even better. I've been thinking about it for a month or so and you know what, I think I'm onto something. I don't want to get overly excited but I couldn't help but think if I were able to just get $0.05 from every zipper, wow! I now have good connections with patent attorneys to make this process move along. And don't worry when I get zipper rich, I won't forget you guys.
I'm not being hypothetical, I really thought of something and now will get my attorney to help me thru the process.
I truly believe things happen for a reason, especially innovation, that in my mind, comes from the universe.

I see Shark Tank in your future.
 
I mean this, I really hope you have something here, 1/16th is probably more realistic but that could still be conservatively 600k a year for 17 years plus or minus depending where its applicable. not a bad take. I want nothing to do with your product, but if you think I could be of help let me know.. you still are not touching my patent but if you have your own original idea, I will help anyway I can, I am only saying this because I was about to offer this to everyone on the forum, may as well start with you.
 
Very soon after I saw the RW system Jerry posted here I got rid of the hand ascender and clipped the top of my bungee to the middle hole of the Hitch climber and walked up single line. When I saw the Haas for the first time I didn't think the bungee needed to be in a tube in the foot loop and I certainly didn't think that was an idea that needed to be patented. I then found out my set up had been used as far back as the the late 70's....
Innovation is for sharing not for hoarding. Patents are part of a ridiculous construct that continues to move farther and farther from reality.
On that note, if anyone wants a knee ascender, I'll gladly make you one.

I don't even have a knee ascender, though have been following this debate (as I have been the 'Sherrill buys Treestuff' debate...).

I don't buy the 'one guy has to be a really mean person, while the other guy has to be good as gold' argument... Why must someone be denigrated such just for another to be proved right?

Could the banal (but maybe more realistic) reality be that we have two thoroughly decent innovative chaps who may have so much in common, though obviously don't see eye to eye on where innovation meets business - particularly this innovation, where both have invested years of time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, stress and money?

The long and short of it is that we (the consumer) currently have less availability of choice of product, and also less choice (or freedom) of innovation on existing products (who feels like messing around with a product now, in possibility of creating something new/cool - thinking that the original maker will 'block' your product?).

I just think it's a shame. Nobody's died. They're both good people. It's just a shame.

I don't care about calling my climbing tools 'toys', as that's what they are to me. This occupation is about fun to me - if it stops being fun for me - I'll just walk away and find something else fun to do. Life's too short.
