: : Luke, : : To see if your idea is already patented in the US just go to www.uspto.gov and learn to use the search system. : : Filing a provisional patent ($80) can be done over the internet. Just READ carefully all the steps you must follow at www.uspto.gov. It will take at least 3 months for you to get all set up with your digital signature, etc. : : But your provisional patent is of no use in establishing an early invention date if it is just documenting a 'concept'. The provisional patent must disclose all the key information that is eventually used in your full patent or you lose the early invention date. : Dear Dune Dancer, : Aare you aware that unless the previsional application can support viable claims, all it might do is to give away a disclosure which might be of value. : Just filing paper can be just a wasteful and going to the scam operators. : M.
