Anyone ever filed a patent?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Thinking of doing it in the near future. Any pointers on the process to be had here in huddleland?

You need a patent lawyer to do a patent search to see if your idea is a new idea or an improvement on an existing patent. If it is determined to be patentable, He/She'll then draft up a patent application at your discretion... could cost a couple of grand by the end so make sure your idea is worth it.

Patent Agents also do this work but they are not attorneys. They probably do not command as much money.

Legal research I get done for free (uncle is a rather well known attorney and the people at his firm like me for some reason). So far as I've found, nothing matches up to what I've got.

I was looking at legalzoom.com earlier. I used them to draw up my will and prenuptual agreements before I got married and was quite pleased with how easy it was. I like doing things on my own. As for lady robots, I'm afraid I haven't come up with anything quite that necessary.

Pretty sure you have to be a patent attorney or a patent agent to file a patent app, so you'll eventually have to get help from somewhere. GL

What's your idea btw?

It's a stomach cure. He told me all about it:

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime.

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up

She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up,

And said, "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,

I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?

I say, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,

I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?"

"Now let me get this straight ",

Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up

Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up

Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up

Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up,

And say, 'Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,

I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?

I say, Doctor, doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take,

I say, Doctor, dooooctor, to relieve this belly ache?'

Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together,

Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better,

Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,

Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Sorry, it's late and I just couldn't resist!

New type of pipe clamp. Made a prototype at work so I could hold pipes under a miter saw easier without worrying about it kicking out at me. A lot safer than our old method. When I told my brother in law about it, he paid me to make him one for use in his mailbox business. Figured if one person was willing to pay, might as well make sure that anyone else who thought it was a good idea would have to pay.
