on 8/16/2008 Great advice, I had no idea where to get started. This process is very daunting- I think I might hire a lawyer to deal with it all and skip the ground work. I already have prototype- now I just need to deal with the paperwork part- fun!

on 7/10/2008 Even with this explanation, I think it's still hard to get an idea patented. It costs money and time. Some times an idea it's pretty simple, but paying and waiting is not worth it. I wish I could tell my ideas to the world, and you know, if someone uses it, then maybe a piece of the pie for me. Hey, there is another idea for a website, damn, I can't help myself.

on 4/19/2007 I think there are many folks out there who have these brilliant ideas, but just get intimidated by the process of patenting them. It's almost foreign to many, and this article gives clear guidelines. Awesome.

on 4/19/2007 Excellent advice. I thought about applying for a Patent on a "thing" that my Brother-in-law and I built for my Jeep, but I always assumed it wasn't worth the time and effort. Perhaps I was mistaken. Thanks.
