I had an idea a while back, and I've been making some fishing lures in my shop. There's nothing real revolutionary about my idea - it's just a different way of designing and building a lure using materials that are different from what I've ever seen used.
Now I'm in the "testing" stage - taking them to the lake and making sure everything holds together and that they catch fish (a tough job, but someone's got to do it). That's working out real well, and I think what I've got amounts to a small but significant improvement in my fishing (and catching).
When I'm completely satisfied with these lures, I'd like to start selling them on eBay and get a web page so people could order them from me. Just a little enterprise on the side for a retired guy.
But I'm wondering if it's possible to keep the idea from being copied. Once these are out in public, it would be real easy for any tackle company to copy them.
There are a lot of people on this forum with expertise in different areas. Does anyone here know how I could protect something like this - so I could make and sell the lures at a reasonable price instead of just having the design taken away from me? Thanks.
