Business Case Study: Steve Gas's Swastop
Swastop
Steve Gass has a brilliant patent on the table saw which contains two parts: a detect flesh sensor and braking mechanism. His invention is proved to be able to protect thousands of worker form potential injury during work with power saws, as well as save $10,000~ $25,000 from one single accident. He knew he can prevent these injuries by his invention but he has no desire to start new company at first. He wants to license the invention and get licensing fees from large saws manufacturing companies but thing goes not smoothly as he wished.

    In the final stages of the decision process and after evaluating many different options, my team and I have come to the conclusion, based on the facts given here that it would be more advantageous to the company to maintain the process that we have now. By doing this we do not run the risk of getting locked into a contract that could surpass the amount of time required to cut costs.
