…… am I the only one picking up that OP is asking if they should bluff?

Just my guess, but I think OP doesn’t have a patent to begin with, they just want to bluff that they do to the manufacturer to prevent stealing of the idea, while probably producing and selling the first round to then pay for the patent…

Either way - save your breath unless you’re going to get it protected by the laws governing where you’re having it manufactured
