Any lawyers in the house?

Long story short, about 8 months ago I invented a new kind of lock and filed for a provisional patent with USPO. I am a nerd, i am not a lawyer or a CEO type. I am looking to team up with a layer/businessman to either take this lock technology to the marker or sell it to large company like Abloy Group or Schlage. If anyone with proper legal credentials is interested message me and we can coordinate a discussion via private channels.

The main idea behind the lock that I invented is that this design prevents the attacker from manipulating locking elements in opening direction while the lock is under tension. Hence effectively taking away the feedback. When i say prevents from manipulating i do not mean simply locks them up like serrated pins in threaded chambers; something far better.

I've actually sold an idea to Assa Abloy before. Went right to Clyde Roberson's desks from what Clyde told me.

Anyways, there's a lot more in play than just it being a good idea and that being reason enough for Allegion or Assa Abloy or Stanley to invest. Feel free to PM me if you need advice.
