The Intellectual Property Law firm of Auslander and Thomas has adopted the service mark ELAINE'S Workshop in the hope that people like you will seek inexpensive legal advice before they lose money or rights or when a small exenditure goes a long way.
It is unclear at this point whether or not a patent is available. One thing is clear, use or disclosure of an inventive idea before the first patent application has been filed destroys valid patent rights in almost every country in the world except the US.
There are other things that still can be done whether or not a patent is available. We start with a Reality Check to help one get a realistic perspective as early as possible. The Reality Check usually saves time, money and worry.
We do not charge for just talking to you or bill our time without fair warning.
