I have an idea related to cross bow hunting. Can not find anything like it in my searches. Does anyone out there know of a marketing company that I might talk to about the possibility of getting a patent and/or promoting something like this? Might already be something out there like it and/or this may not even be worth prosuing. Just been thinking about looking into it a little more.
Thanks

Cabelas has a thing on their web site about new product submissions I would b concerned with them taking ur idea if it is not patent.

Patents are very expensive. If it is a one-off product, it's more profitable to work with an established outdoor company to get it to market before the copycats can steal it. Get what you can when you can. The barriers are pretty high for hobbiest inventors. If it is a high profit potential, you might want to get a lawyer involved and sign non-disclosures with an established manufacturer and then negotiate royalties.

I have over $20k invested in a patent that I hold. It is a long and expensive process.
