So you've just invented a new jigga-maroo, and it's destined to change the world ... or at least become a new American icon. Now all you have to do is get it on the market before some thief or industrial spy steals your idea and beats you to the punch! How do you get a patent? Do you even need to? Well, before you gather up all your paperwork and head downtown, checkbook in hand, to find a patent lawyer and apply for a patent, there are some things you should know up front: * A patent costs thousands of dollars in legal and filing fees with the patent attorney - and may offer precious little law protection from a practical point of view.
- While a patent may look prestigious on paper, it is no guarantee of wealth for the inventor.
- You can protect your invention yourself for as little as $25 - and invest your time, money, and effort in developing your idea and getting it into the hands of the public - and money in your pocket.
This book, written by two successful inventors who speak from experience, will explain the three major avenues available to you when it comes to protecting your invention - including the advantages and disadvantages of each. You'll also learn how to work out the kinks in your idea before you get the ball rolling, the three questions you must ask yourself to determine whether your idea will fly, how to apply for grant money that will help to finance the development of your invention, the important criteria that will determine the marketability of your product, and the three critical rules of thumb you must adhere to before you can even consider pursuing a patent. In addition to providing a detailed roadmap of the patent process, the authors explain the perils and pitfalls of seeking investors and licensing your product to a second or third party. Finally for those willing to take this first step and strike out on their own, the authors discuss the ins and outs of becoming an entrepreneur - and show you how it's possible to make millions in today's market by working only a few hours a day - without even leaving home!
