: : THE $80 FOR THE PROVISIONAL APPLICATION I HAVE,BUT FOR THE REST OF THE MONEY ........IT'S A NO NO.. : : I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND COMPANIES WHO WILL FINANCE MY INVENTION EVEN WHEN THE PATENT IS PENDING. : Dear Mr. Shabazz, : Give me a puff on that before you throw it away. The world is not going to beat a path to your door even if you have a better mouse trap. You don't even know whether or not you can get a patent and then whether any patent you may get, is of any value. Just getting a patent, even with a legitimate patent lawyer is no guarantee of doing more than spending money. : It is not easy to find an investor, particularly before you have a patent or patent application. You are between a rock and hard place. The worst is that even with a patent there is no assurance that it will be bought nor that it is not easy to avoid. : One client came to me with a patent that was issued complaining that his invention was in use. A careful study of the patent showed that the claims of the patent did not cover the invention only one aspect of it, which the current used was not infringing. : A reliable patent search, or our Reality Check® is going to cost more than $80. The scam artists charge as much or more that the legitimate patent lawyers. The scam artists make $100M+ a year and only one in ten thousand make more than they pay. : If you divulge or use your invention before a first patent application is filed, you loose all VALID patent right in almost every country of the world except the US. : If you divulge or use in the US before filing a patent application, there is great risk if such divulgation is not in confidence. : A reliable patent search may give a reliable answer that you may not be able to get a patent or a good patent. In some instances there may be ways of making money with an invention without a good patent, such as with the Pet Rock. : Hey Look! I just saved you $80 bucks. : M.
