: : This question has most likley been asked before but can an idea be patented without a working product or a detailed blue print? : Dear Scott, : Ideas are not patentable. If you have a concept that can be expressed in a tangible form, it may be patentable. The patent application is enough. : It must set forth enough detail so that someone skilled in the art can use the invention as disclosed in the patent once the patent has expired. : JUST getting a patent can be an expensive waste of money. There is a $100M+ a year scam getting people to file patent applications. Only one in ten thousand get back more than they pay. : A Reality CheckŪ screens inventions up front to save time, money and worry and or to find alteratives. : M.
