difference of product 'n patent (Score 1)

Hiya. Yeah, a lone inventor will not control a whole product, usually. But so what? If your patent is used, you get c. 10% royalty. Sure, the big corp will make a killing on your idea. Yet you still become rich. So why would I care if I control a product? I'm in the patent game for CASH.
Frankly, you can make big bux on a product without patent; just get in early then get out.
