the patent fees would be easy work for an inventor making 6 figures.
terrance had much more than that... the fees aint that high

This is rza talking about how he made his beat machine and how you must patent in EVERY country in the world. And the costs are crazy. Or they will go around you and patent there and just use it to aell from there.
Said he put 2+ million into a beat machine called the replicator, but was a 10-20 million dollar game he couldnt keep up with.tHey jumped the gun and they showed it too early a the electronics show and in the end the other sound companies copied the tech and came out with serato and final scratch 6-12 months later.
Im sure you know how big final scratch and serato are. The tech started with a engineer in switzerland who loved hip hop and made his own machine outta 7 different machines. rza found and invested in him but he lost millions. But he has 50 prototypes in the crib lol. Funny to think final scratch/serato came from the machine that created “Stroke of Death”
Terance howard dont got rza money in 2000s. Not even close.
Theres an extended interview where he goes into it. But its from this session not sure if its in there or not
“You think 2 million a lot of money right? Its not. In the corporate world thats 3 days work. “
Why you think tesla had to teamup with super rich to get his shyt going. He couldnt afford to make it a business and if you cant, business will come in and swallow you up and you get nothing.
