: After I implement an idea, I want to make it filed as a patent and get profit as soon as possible. : How soon in US and Canada? : In which country I can make it in the fastest way? : Any comment is welcome. If something is new, useful and unobvious it is entitled to a patent. I'm sure you don't just want a patent! You want something that you can get a benefit from----Well! not every good idea is patentable and not every patent gives the protection you need. Patents are expensive. I focus on an inexpensive "Reality Check" first. There is a $100,000,000 a year scam were companies solicit inventors giving promise of great hopes. Patents cost a lot and don't necessarily make money. They are, in fact usually not that difficult to get even using a legitimate Patent Lawyer. You need protection focused on your needs. It is important for you not to use nor disclose your invention before a patent application has been filed. You can get free information on Patents by clicking on the "Patent Page" in the Forum. Once you filed you have a year of treaty priority for Canada. M.
