: : A couple of friends and myself have an idea we'd like to work on getting patented but we have no idea as to where to begin. If there is anyone out there that could help us we'd appreciate it. : Dear Denise, : Ideas in themselves are not patentable. If you were the first to conceive of a rocket to the moon, that could not be patented. You might get a patent on a rocket to do that. Other different rockets would still be patentable. : 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. : There is a $100,000,000 a year scam, were companies solicit inventors giving promise of great hopes. Patents are expensive and don't necessarily make money. 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. It may destroy any rights you have abroad. : You can click on the Patent Page of the Patent Forum to get free information. : M.
