: : : : I wrote a new, exciting and addictive video game. This is played on a personal computer. It can also be played on the internet or on a network. : : I have been reading about patents and am seriously considering hiring a patent attorney.I can only afford one patent right now though. Would I have to have two patents? One to patent the game, and another one to patent the fact that the game can be played on the internet or a network. I am confused becuase the game does not have to be run on a network but I want that option. : Dear Michael, : Its a waste of time money and worry to not know what you are doing. : That does not mean that you are going to make money but good IP advice can keep you on the right track. : When it comes to patents, just getting a patent can be waste of a lot of money. There are scams getting patents in which only one in ten thousand get back more than they pay. : Even with a Registered Patent Lawyer, they may take you money and get you a patent that is of no value. : That is why we have the Reality Check®. : M.
