: : : : hello there : : my name is jason from sydney. i am presently developing an invention which i wish to patent in the USA, and for which i wish to lodge a patent application soon. meanwhile i am keeping a well recorded and witnessed diary of invention and progress. : : i know that such a diary written by a US citizen is recognised in the US as having potential legal status in establishing who was first to invent. but is my australian notebook of similar legal value? or should i lodge a PPA ASAP? : : thankyou for any help - i can't seem to discover this information anywhere. : : jason : Dear Jason, : From what you say, my recommendation is that you start with a patent search, to get a better idea of the likely scope of protection you might get with a patent. : It may be easy to get a patent that is of NO value. Patents, event worthless patents are expensive. : The is a $100M a year scam industry getting patents, only one in ten thousand get back more than they pay. : M.
