: : I am working with a company to patent my invention and now I am down to being able to patent the product but to patent it as us and foriegn and trademark they want 26000 dollars! is that out of line. is it that difficult to do it yourself? : Dear Ann, : Particularly working with Companies rather than lawyers one can be taken advantage of. There are scam operators who GET patents and make One Hundred Million year. Only one in ten thousand get more back than they have paid. : The importance is to get adequate patent protection, NOT to JUST get a patent. Legitmate patent practicioners can also get patents which are of no breadth or of no value. : That is why we have the Reality Check® to save time money and worry. We also have ELAINE's Workshop® E arly L egal A dvice I s N ot E xpensive™ to catch you before you spend a fortune. : The worst of it is that one of the best patents I have ever gotten, and for a friend, lies fallow. The biggest company in the field, looked at it, turned it down and then the industry offered a $50,000,000 prize to the company that could produce what we had. : The company we showed it to won the $50,000,000, and came out with something not as good and not infringing. : It is a tough business. $26000 is not expensive if it covers enough crucial countries. There are very many countries that you can get patents in. : M.
