: I have a great idea and do not know where to start. HELP!
Do not reveal the idea except in confidence and then in writing. Your really need professional help. Be extremely cautious of television or radio ads solciting inventors. There is a $100,000,000 scam preying on the unwary. It took 25 years to put one scam out of business. There were 30,000 clients and only 3 made more money than they paid. I my practice I conduct a "Reality Check" for which there is a small charge, particuarly considering the usual large investment in a patent. Even patents can be uncertain.
