'Proper' mudguards are full length. The biggest flaw of the existing wooden designs is that they are flat; they look nice but don't work anywhere near as well as those with a curved profile. There will definitely be a market for quality compound curved full length 'guards, if you can make them! Probably an international market.
I suspect there is also a market for shorter 'clip on' 'guards for those whose frames cannot fit full length 'guards but who still want a (relatively) dry arse. I hate, and don't use, clip on 'guards so can't comment further.
