patent new inventions
I have a thing for most inventors. Most pay thousands for services they do not need them if a company a license for their product. The invention submission companies all push a patent search done, a provisional patent, patent file, a market analysis report, CAD drawings have made. Why? Because you have to pay for these things, and they offer a service doing just that.
Here are some things that pages neglected to tell you.

You can use a patent search yourself using the patent Web site or Google's new patent search. The bad thing is, if you do not find something to find, does not mean a provisional patent has not been loaded. You just can not see. You can use all your money on a patent only to discover someone else has a lock on the spot. So, you will notice that if you license your idea to a company to improve, you can turn your idea or change it in a way that your patent is no longer on the final product. So has another patent to be filed. I call this "" What a dog, a cat ends syndrome "" Your original patent was money wasted. I have 6 points on the market and not for a dime on the patents. The companies pay the licensing of the patents for ideas from their pockets to protect their investment. The patent refers to the actual product they produce.

A provisional patent is cheaper, but starts a clock 1 years. If you are not yet licensed, this year you must complete for a patent or your idea is open to all others that a patent. If you complete the patent you are spending thousands to make it ready. Do you have the resources for a full patent? They are also going to wait at least a year or more before the patent is issued.

Full Patents are great if you are a big company and hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend your patent. The average person can not afford top of a Disney or Mattel medium-sized businesses to tackle Knockoffs. You will lose any benefit you and the courts for years. If you do not think that is true with all Knockoffs of the patented article on the shelf now.

A market is a waste of money unless you plan to produce and distribute to the position. If you do today and you will find a company to license your idea, it is their own market and not your word for it to you. So you are paying for something they already do. In the last 5 years I have only 1 company ask me if I had a market for this product idea. I asked if they needed that I have a. He said no, they would their own.
Plus, how long is your market well? If it's a year since you were doing, and you still have not found a company to manufacture the product, your market analysis is still valid? Can you afford to have one done every 6 months or years?

You must not always CAD drawings and other technical engineering drawing, a point above. If you have electronic circuitry, or something extremely high tech, it would probably make sense. If you have a low-tech board game article or you do not need to be technical. All my drawings are two dimensional. Are you looking for professional, on the point, are in color and have included brief explanations of the articles and feature advantages.

More and more companies are open to ideas from outside inventors man. You see the value of using someone outside the company on their line and see if they are dealing with something that fits. I approach business with a confidentiality agreement approved. If we all, the agreement would be my idea for a review. If you are interested, we will discuss conditions of license fees and permits.

Since I can not wait for a patent, I can immediately start businesses. That saves me a year or longer to wait to get started. Another point, it may be that if you are a company with the patented idea, they usually offer between 3% and 5% royalties based on sales. If you approach them with the same idea, and it can not be patented you 3% to 5% royalties. So, you save the cost of the patent and when your first royalty check is profit, not something you use to return the money that you need for the patent.
