: : :: Dear Craig: Discovered your little web page here my accident. Was looking for info on getting a copywrite on my invention. Can you help me save $1,000 bucks? That's what Mr. Olesky says it will cost me. Sure hope it's not too late... for I've sent him some photos and a few technical drawings already...but NO legal papers have been signed, witnessed or otherwise. : Sincere thanks, : Larry Falzitto : : : I have developed some mailing documents and reports and I would like to get them Copywrited. How do I go about getting these things Copywrited? : : Dear Craig, : : The copyright law protects what you create, registration enables enforcement. It reallu depends on what you have and what you do or intend to do. : : Dear , : : The Reality CheckK is the way to examine an invention to see what can : : properly done with it. It is easy to get a patent. It is not easy to make : : money, even with a patent. It is easy to spend a lot of money and get a : : patent, only to discover that it is of NO value. : : I am a lawyer, and also specially registered to practice before the Patent : : and Trademark Office. The first thing you do is to keep your invention : : secret. A disclosure to a patent lawyer such as myself is in confidence. : : There is great danger in using or disclosing an invention before the first : : patent application has been filed unless it is in confidence. : : Confidentiality is a study in itself. : : The cost of the Reality Check (sm) is $250. If you send a written disclosure : : of what you have in mind, we can go over it over the phone or in the office : : to get a clearer picture IF there is anything that can be done. Getting a : : patent in itself may be an expensive mirage. : : Send a written description of what you have in mind, with any necessary : : drawings and a $250 retainer. The drawings don't have to be fancy, only : : understandable. We then go over the disclosure on the phone or in the : : office. : : Even if I know that I can get a patent for you I may not even recommend a : : patent search if it looks impossible to realize your needs. I answer all : : questions and dont mind being challenged. If we do a patent search you get a : : credit for the $250 against the search. : : There is a scam industry that takes in over $100M a year getting inventors : : to file patent applications. Only 1 in 10,000 make more money than they pay. : : Even legitimate Patent Lawyers can say yes to you without lying and get a : : patent for you that is of no value. : : M.
