Hope you have a lot of time to get it patented, cause my one uncle has a patent in the works, well has been in the works for years for the Pentagon. Has to do with the roofing industy. Cant really say more than that, but he will be a millonaire once or if it goes through. Has been over 2 years now, so we will see. I wish the best for him because he has Lou Gehrig's disease and he could really use the dough.

bleh. if it goes thru, i knowit will happen in the future, just sucks its so expensive and time consuming. why does it take so god ****ed long to patent something? and why is it so expensive?

im not really keen on what makes it expensive. all the forms are on the internet, along with all the information that states what needs to be handed in? i know the easiest route to go with is the patent attourney, but who needs a guy to fill out paperwork when its fully documented online?

A Guide to Filing A Non-Provisional (Utility) Patent Application

every single thing that i would need to do to create an application is right there. all the forms are on their site, and it explains everything in detail. so why is it so expensive!??!

i dont understand. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

its expensive because like i mentioned before Good attorneys will do a detailed patent search to see if the invention is already patented. Thats usually around $800-1000 dollars just for the search. Next is the legal work involved, Andy its way more harder than just filling out an application. If its a really good invention/concept you would want to be protected and the attorney can do that for you, dont forget big manus and corporations have many attorneys and if they look at your idea/invention and see you had a loop hole or didnt cover something your screwed. I pmd you the best way of doing it without getting a patent or patent pending status!!!

i have had an idea for something (yes its car audio related) for about 3 years now. i have not seen anything like it in the market as of yet.
im not going to propagate my idea anywhere until i eaither find somone else made it or i patent it lol.

but has anyone ever tried to get something patented? did anything come of it? what do you have to do to patent an idea, and where did you go to do it?

i just started doing some reasearch, and one of the best resources is people. so fill me in on your expierence or research, and give me a heads up about what im getting into //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thanks for any info anyone can provide. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif

I have an item I have tried to get liscened. However, PepsiCo wanted to see the product before granting me a liscense. And the license was crazy expensive. I still have it. It is one of a kind and I have never seen anything like it before.

You will need to hire a patent lawyer. There are none in Nashville, so I had to call around Atlanta. Of course, they charged an outragous sum for consultation. The patent itself isn't very expensive. The administration and defending it is. If you don't have ~$10k to put into, I wouldn't even try.

You can mail it to yourself as a cheap method. That is called a poor man's patent.

wtf. why would i tell a jizzhead?!?!

again, all the consultant stuff? its all layed out right in that document. doing the research for the patent listing cant be that god damned hard. all the patents have to be listed somewhere if the consultants can access it.
