Can you produce your invention without a patent?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

Yes, you can produce your invention without a patent, but your invention will be stolen by the producer and they will file the patent. Once that is done, they will be able to sue you for trademark infringement.

Yes, you can manufacture an invention without a patent. However, a patent search would be a good idea to ensure that your product does not violate someone else's patent. You can, however, treat your product plans as proprietary information, which provides some legal protection against intellectual property theft.

You could go about doing it that way. However, if your invention was amazing and sold tons of units someone could come along and patent it and you would be out of luck. I suggest if you seriously think this product is the next big thing that you go and get a patent.
