Step by step. I have this idea and now have access to the required technology. This process may make it possible that particular 914 replacement parts could be created. But I need to get my design idea patented before I do anything else. Your shared experience is greatly appreciated. I can be contacted directly at roger@grubb.net Thanks, Roger |

Your shared experience is greatly appreciated. I can be contacted directly at roger@grubb.net Thanks, Roger Use this information at your risk. The 1st step is talk to a patent attorney. Some may give you a free initial visit. He will tell you what you need to do. Your project needs to be sketched and have a written description by you on your initial attorney visit. He will not be allowed to tell you if it is a cause worthy of your expense but great ideas make great patents. The patent attorney will then hire someone in Washington DC that will charge a sum to search for patentability at the patent office related to your invention (design). Be prepared to pay up front for these services. Probably looking at least $2K - $3K for the artwork, secretarial aspects, search and the right to patent. Mine always took about 1 1/2 years from start to issue date of each of my patents. The patent will be on shaky ground if you discuss it in a public manner. Secret is a myth but a good idea to keep it between you and your attorney. |
