Sounds to me like you need better funding.
Or you can patent it yourself. I have also gone that route- another
waste of time IMO.
The way they grant patents these days you can skip the search lol Just
saying
Here in Texas you can find a patent lawyer dime a dozen at 5K but that's
just the start of the woes.
If it goes back and forth much it can get very expensive.
I've got a buddy that thinks he has a patent for inline staging for a
spaceplane.
Not worth the paper it's written on IMO.

Agreed, but we are already past that point... we've actually been
funded for several years. If I can get a patent for 5 grand, I'd be
very happy. My last work in getting patents cost me $20K!
(I live in Chicago, the land of expensive lawyers)
Thanks!

My advice take that 5 grand for starters and use it to fly and visit
potential investors. Go to conferences and meet people. Things like that
Use it to make connections that will land you and investor.
Landing an investor is more about connections.
Just my 2 cents.
Unless you have something really good and the investor has an interest
in backing your claim. Because patents take money to protect. If it's
not worth protecting then it's pretty much worthless.
