: Mr. A seems to have answered the question for you already. However, you might find it interesting to visit the <a href="http://www.uspto.gov" target="_blank">US Patent and Trademark Office web site</a> and search for patents assigned to a well-known game company that you can think of. I suspect at least one such company has a rather extensive patent portfolio. : If you want PDFs of the patents, e-mail me with the patent numbers and I'll e-mail the PDFs back to you. I get them for free. You can get them free too, if you use Linux (search Google for "pat2pdf"). : I hope that helps. : Regards. : : I have an idea for a Computer Game. My question is: Can I patent a computer or video game? I know I can copyright it but I don't think that protects my idea! : : Any help is greatly appreciated. Also what would it cost? I should have asked that first.
