Anyone ever own a patent and negotiate...............

[Bonhomme Richard]

liscensing agreements? Any advice before I involve an attorney?
I just sent out informational letters inorder to test the waters, so to speak.
God, it seems that when you work for yourself you constantly have to learn a whole new set of skills which makes me think I am in way over my head. Heh, guarenteed that when I learn this process something else will pop up.

1. I have several.

Haven't done any licensing agreements, we do all our own manufacturing, (or sub it out) and our own sales. That may not work with your patent.

2. I am currently manufacturing.........

the units to fill orders now (aviation industry) but have not set up and financed a large scale (for me anyway) operation. I would really prefer not to if I have a choice and that's why I sent out the letters.
We'll see what happens.
