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

Roger,

As a person that not only has patents but make and markets my own products world wide I can tell you that today it takes much longer to get a patent than it did 7 years ago.

The one year filling that Rich is going over comes and goes very fast. You need to do your home work and see what prior art there is on the web at

http://www.uspto.gov/

This is a down and dirty filling but you still need the forms filled out and get the drawings done. If you look over other peoples patents you can get a very good idea.

You have it easy now. In the old days I had to go down to the head library in downtown L.A. Remember, when people got there patents on molding materials and process they went very wide in there claims. I do not why a 914 would be different than anything like say what I mold or any car part in any process or what is taught at say Art Center in Pasadena?

Go to the web and look. See if what you want to do is done.

Good luck.

Bob
