patent an awesome family recipe[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by kytango on December 04, 2002 at 18:29:36: I have an awesome family recipe that I would like to patent. I am very serious about this idea and have even conducted a consumer research and testing of it to ensure it's attractiveness and uniqueness. My end goal is to make money from this family recipe. A few questions: 1) To make sure that no one has beat me to it, I searched the US patent and patent-pending database and was not able to find any recipe patents. 2) To what extent is it a smart move to pitch the food product straight to a company's executives? How can I protect myself from them "stealing" my idea? 3) I also have a unique name for the product that I would like to trademark. Can this trademark protect me in any way from them "stealing" my idea? 4) What are the typical "models" for royalties? Do I basically get $xx for each item that gets sold by the manufacturer? What is the ballpark "xx" figures that I can expect per item sold? Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
