What if you don't want to sell? IP doesn't protect you. You have to have money for IP to protect you.
As a little guy you have to weigh up your end goal in deciding on what IP strategy to follow. I am very familiar with this, having done it personally as a very little guy, then as a larger (not large) company, and again now as a littler guy. Been involved with many IP strategies, many lawsuits (as a defendant and expert witness), and quite a few IP acquisitions and licensing.
