Hard to say what is fair. How do you retain rights to an idea. Started making road cups in 1971 after dumping a hot cup of coffee in my lap going over a bump on a real cold January day. Cooked and then frozen I figured there was a better way. Just played with clay and threw some forms and came up with a road cup. Sold some and gave some away. They took off and here we are. Still making things but not getting much for it. Oh well. Sticky wicket. Hard to say what is fair. How do you retain rights to an idea.
