Re: searching for patents

Subject: Re: Re: searching for patents

Comments:
: : I have recently devised an invention which has already received much attention from a company. My problem is that I cannot afford the required market research and patent search from a company. If anyone knows where I can search for a patent myself - preferably by e-mail - I would be much obliged. : : Many Thanks : : Ed Freeman : IBM and the PTO have websites that can be searched. They are not as complete as a professional search, but good. : More important is for you to keep your inventions secret. revealing the invention before a good application is filed at least destroys most foreign rights. : If you have gone to a promotional organization,they usually tell you how good the invenetion is and charge as much or more that a professional will. There may be no chance to do more than just spend money. It is easy to get a patent usually. I not easy to make money. : M.
