QUESTION
Can I retain IP if an invention/concept is expanding on an existing product currently on the market
Asked on Nov 20th, 2014 on Intellectual Property - Kansas
More details to this question:
When an existing product is modified and expanded on, it becomes the base to a new product. This product then evolves from a construction use to a camping and tailgating use. I have created an inventors notebook and have photographed the new product [ retaining copyright to the image of the new product ] . Can I confront the manufacture of the " base " product with the idea of the " new " product with confidence that I have done all I can to protect the IP on this new idea?
