: : Hello! : : I've developed an algorithm for compressing computer files (binary data) (i'm sure that this algorithm isn't allready in use). : : I'm wondering if i can patent it, about how much it will cost, & about the liscensing. : : I was considering seeking a patent lawyer, is that a good idea, and if anybody knows about how much do one of those people cost (as you can see, i'm not on the biggest budget)... : : Thank you for your time, this forum seems very helpful! : : -Sage : : sirius25@hotmail.com : Algorithms are not patentable. Use of the algorithm in a system can be patented.

When he started out he turned over to me an application that had written. : Lemelson was brilliant but writing good patent applications requires a a patent professional, who you can also trust. : M.
