1. regardling patent, If you don't disclose the key technology and on purpose withhold the preferred embodiment, this can be a reason for invalidating your patent later. True, there is always a risk that others will use your invention without paying for it, so you have to make a decision if you need to file for patents to get protection or keep it as a trade secret. My opinion is when you start a business, you need a portifilio of patents to convince the investors that your technology is protected. Otherwise if you can spend all the money and time to have a product out there. But without proper IP protection, others can easily copy it and make more money than you do. This is why the patent is there in the first place.
2. You need to establish some sort of partnership with people who know the business. You risk your money and time if you don't have the right product and/or if you don't market it to the right people. The enviornment that these equipments will be exposed to are quite different from consumer product and it is important that you manufacture a product that can have ther right environmental specifications and the long reliabilities that are needed which requires special material, process, and qualification procedures. The oil and gas business has a very high barrier and it is easy to sink a lot of money befoer you can even have a reasonable customer. Also the oil patch is very tight and they usually only trust the people they know. So it is important to have people who knows the business in your team. If you can't find a partner, I think you should consider selling your technology to people who can use it and move on to something else.
Just my 2C.
