I'll give you half for nothing if you can help me get it to market.
If you have a minute then watch this video I made.

You keep ignoring the point that an equivalent device is already in the
market place. What makes you think you can sell your "lock" for $50 when
a similar unit sells for $15?

It's not the same. Granted ,it does the same thing but all the plastic
keys
are the same. One key fits all.
If you grip it with a pair of needle nose it pulls out with no damage
..then
you merely push it back in.
How easy is it to get to the power plug on your computer to install and
remove ... maybe on a daily basis?
My device has a tiny remote that is coded.

Last but not least .. the device is a China import with no Patent, but
just
a provisional patent with no value. It is an infringement on my patent.

By "it", do you mean the product is an infringement, or the provisional
patent is infringing?
Provisional patents have no "claims", so they themselves *cannot*, by
definition, infringe--at least not in the US.

A provisional patent does not lose its "value" until it expires, which is
one year. It is more of a "place holder" in the PTO, a time stamp, if you
will.
If it is completed within the year (ie, claims drafted), it becomes a trad'l
patent.

Most of the patents I've seen *seem* to infringe!
But true infringement depends on the language of the claims, which is a very
very esoteric legalese specialty.
Anyone who's done a HS report can write a patent--except for the claims.

Which these Patent It Yourself books glaringly and irresponsibly gloss over.
Legal remedy is, iiuc, based *solely* on the claims and their language.
In fact, the administrative fees of patents are based solely on the number
of claims, and their types--fees which are becoming increasingly severe PVs
to the inventing rabble.

Altho the American patent system, with its army of examiners (at least
pre-bush) would seem to proscribe any patent infringement (by dint of being
patent *examiners*, some renowned for their skill and thoroughness), it
*may* be leaning more toward the European system, where patents are
basically rubber-stamped (belying their incredible expense, at least when
done here from the States--10x the cost of a domestic patent), and
infringements are settled on your litigation dime.

A US patent examiner is (was) obligated to strike (disallow) infringing
claims, etc. Thus, in the US, theoretically one patent CANNOT infringe on
another. If it does, proly the examiner(s) will have some explaining to do
before their supervisors.

It's when an item is *produced* that one most often claims patent
infringement.
iiuc, you can claim patent infringement by a product/mfr who has no patent
whatsoever--basically just copying yer shit.

Under scrutiny, you might find *your* patent is an "infringement" on someone
else's patent!!
But, as I alluded to above, the notion of infringement is apparently so
subtle, it really defies non-legal common sense--at least mine.
Ergo, patents are disconcertingly easy to circumvent--esp. if the claims are
not craftily drafted.
