Skippy Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have two pretty solid ideas that would both be pretty easy and pretty cheap to make. One of the two, I think, is a great idea that a lot of people would buy. What steps to I take to make this a reality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 A buddy of mine here at my office is going thru the pre-patent process. Additionally, my girlfriend has a real marketable idea for a snowboard tool. I'm waiting for my buddy to finalize his deal before proceeding.

Skippy Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 patent 1465052[/snapback] I guess that is the easy answer but what does that really mean? Does it cost money. Do you just walk in and splain your idea? Do you make one and take it in? Is it a much longer process that involves tons of paper work before you really do anything?

Guest Cherni Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I guess that is the easy answer but what does that really mean? Does it cost money. Do you just walk in and splain your idea? Do you make one and take it in? Is it a much longer process that involves tons of paper work before you really do anything? 1465147[/snapback] You have a few options. You can go to a site like invent.com or you can talk to a patent attorney. Normally the attorney will take care of most of the paperwork, you just sign where he/she puts the signature sticker. Once you get the patent pending you're all set, you can start pitching your idea. It doesn't take a long time to get the ball rolling and you're looking at a pretty low cost to start, around $1200 or so should do it.

Squeegiebo Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Do NOT under any circumstances use one of those invention submission companies. Total scam. They'll make you fork over a lot of money, have some shlub lawyer get you a design patent, make you pay a lot more money and do absolutely nothing to try to help you. Ask Skins. He's an IP guy.

AtomicCEO Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just think about how comfortable the seats would be at the ballgame, or at church, or at a long seminar if you had Inflatable Pants . If you have incontinence or frequent urination problems... try our new Colostomy Pants which work along the same kind of technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
