: : : : : : : : : : I disagree with your reply and in fact you did not even have the decency to answer my question. : : : : : After looking at other replies you have posted on this forum, a common theme arises. That of discouraging inventors. : : : : : I have several technical degrees, several years of coursework in mathematics and logic. I have been reading about the patent process. I can clearly see that it takes skill to produce a patent. But it is not impossible!!. I also know that a patent examiner can help an inventor with claims if it is apparent that the inventor is not represented by an attorney. : : : : : Can someone help me out with my original question? Please do not try to discourage me. Several years ago, I was discouraged from patenting something, only later to see it patented by a corporation, consequently they : : : : : made much money off of the idea I failed to patent. : : : : Dear Bill, : : : : There are more who are blind because they cannot see. Almost anyone can get a patent. There is a $100M a year getting patents for inventors. Only 1 in 10000 make more they they pay. : : : : Go get as many patent as you want. The filing fee starts at several hundred dollars. : : : : Just because you saw a corporation patent what you conceived of does not mean that you could have gotten the protection that you want or that you are deprived of your legal rights. : : : : M. Arthur Auslander : : : : Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909 : : : : 3008 Johnson Ave., New York, NY 10463 : : : : 7185430266, aus@auslander.com : : : : ELAINE's Workshop® : : : : E arly L egal A dvice I s N ot E xpensive™ : : : : Reality Check® : : : Bill, Mr.A. is wrong in "just about anyone can get a patent". I hold a United States patent. I applied for an other decive and was denied. He is right that 1 in a 1000 make money from their envention. That is where marketing comes in. It has nothing to do with the legal aspects of a patent. Do not let anyone discourage you from moving forward in making a diference in people's lives. Do choose a patent attorney very carefully. In your case, you are writing the patent yourself, trust me when I tell you, the more knowledge you have of the patenting system the farther you will go. I bet if you hired Mr. A. he would tell you your invention is better than sliced bread. Just use common sense. Don't let anyone discouage you. Make sure your claims are broad enough that you can fight off infringers. Good Luck! : : : "In the know", where are you? Can you help? : : Dear jld, : : There are the RICH patent lawyers that tell every inventor that they have the best thing in the world. : : My mission is to tell inventors the truth based on law and fact. : : In my experience I have seen one of the very best patents for a very needed device ignored by the industry. Then the company we showed it to got a fifty million dollar industriap prize for turning out something not as good. : : M.

Right?
