    Patents anyone?

    I have a couple of things copyrighted, but I am creating an invention and I realized I couldn't copyright it like a name or logo. I was wondering if anyone have any experiences with attaining patents on their work or works. All info will be appreciated.

              Applying for a Patent in the US
              http://www.ipwatchdog.com/patent/patent-application/
              UPDATED: December 10, 2011 A patent is a proprietary right granted by the United States federal government to an inventor who files a patent application with the United States Patent Office. Therefore, unlike copyright and trademark protection, patent protection will only exist upon the issuance of a patent, which requires you to file a patent application. Furthermore, despite what you…

              The cost of preparing and filing a patent application can be quite high, and estimates only increase given greater demand for technical information.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                  Hire a Patent attorney and be prepared for a fairly costly process.

                          document all of your work including ideas and research. You should keep a journal of this and date each entry.

                          I've never applied for a patent. I wanted to patent something I did in college but it would have belonged to the university so I never did. I haven't attempted to design anything for years now.

                              I filed and logged all the patent info at my University for 2 years in college, great job. As MassNole said, you will be better off getting a lawyer and letting them take care of it. Some much crap to go through and you need to file in ~20 countries to cover yourself.

                                  Not to mention having them do a patent search in some of those Eastern European countries to make sure this is really worth your while to pursue.
