Your company has succeeded by targeting a niche market that will pay more for fashionable styles, making the speed and flexibility of operations more important then the price. A fundamental tenet of your company is the belief that apparel manufacturing should be profitable without exploiting workers.
This summer your team found the company couold not keep pace with orders. You added a second shift and hired 1000 new sewers to staff it, bringing the total number of sewers to 3000. During the summer months, all employees worked full time and often overtime to meet sales needs.
Its now september, and the companys inventory is growing too large. Sales are slow during winter, so your company must slow production. max production is 400,000 pieces, each of the 3000 workers produces 20 pieces a day.
We need to slow production down. What is the best way to go about this?

I see a company that is selling a cleaning product to a certain niche market, which has a trademark shown, but no patent number (pending, or otherwise) is listed on the product or any accompanying literature. The product consists of chemical solutions that any person could buy from a chemistry store or industrial supply house.
The company has been in business for about 4 years or so, and is very successful in it’s target market (has almost totally cornered this market). But their new cleaning product doesn’t appear to have a patent listed anywhere on the containers or website, just a trademark.
Would you take this to mean that the company probably does not have a patent on this product? Or can these things be difficult to discern? Their product has been around since their inception.

How to I prevent them from simply doing it without me? (copyrights don’t apply here) They could pretty much just take my research and idea and do their own thing… or should I raise my own investment capital and produce it myself to avoid the above scenario?
