I have this widget that I've built 30 of so far that I believe has true marketing potential. Sorry, it won't bolt on a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The idea is novel, unique and inexpensive to make, but has a worldwide audience. Anyway, I was toying with the idea of mass producing several thousand for a first run but if this takes off like I think it might--some big company is going to replicate it.
The patent process? Any idea how difficult it is to get one....costs? From what I've read you can do it yourself or hire a patent attorney. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark |

KWales here worked with such things. I am sure he will chime in, but you can contact him as well. He worked with medical stuff as an engineer and has patent experience.
