That's expensive -but I know a good idea. The best device idea really
needs protection! I've also invented an electric winch that does not
protrude below decks and is not much bigger than a conventional winch!
It's got a 1000 lb max pull.

There's a new type of patent now, sort of like "intellectual property"
designed to protect ideas from being poached even if a patent hasn't
been granted. Look into it.


Is that the one that lasts only 1 year?
