I am from India and when i did some research i found out that there are some big and well established companies in the field of windmill installation for electricity generation like Vestas India, GE Wind Energy Ltd.etc.

I have developed a product for renewable generation of electricity and want to start a startup, but it is not very complex (i.e easy to get copied) and i fear that those big companies could figure out the working of my product easily and can make a duplicate of it. Since i will be a small startup very few will recognize me and i will also be having less connections as compared to those big firms.

Also i do have an option of getting a patent done but there can be a chance that i miss some aspect and then those big firms could find any loopholes and then make my patent invalid.(I guess you must be understanding what i want to say as there is lots of possibility for a product design and it is possible that i miss some of them in my patent)

Is revealing of my product in press will be a good idea

Please guide me what should one do for the above case in order to get recognized. (i guess after update my question is making some sense)

    Patenting is your best shot. A good patent lawyer can help to make sure you get as broad coverage as possible. That isn't exactly cheap but often an essential investment for a startup

  • Without a comprehensive patent strategy a competitor could "design around" your claims, not particularly invalidate your patents.

  • that is, you can get a patent if the idea is truly somehow novel and not actually prior art
