    Default Any one here have a patent? Curious about the process.

    I have an invention (Utility) and already started talking to a lawyer.

    I was just curious to know if anyone here has one so I could ask a few questions over PM about their experience.

    thanks

    Start ASAP mailing the drawings to your self and not opening them.

    Maybe Allyson will chime in here before too long, she does all mine.

    I went though the process once. I abandoned it after about $5000. Using a good IP attorney is important, it just wasn't worth it for the product I was working with. Although I still see copies of it floating around. Grrrrr.

    Do go to the PTO since I believe proving "first use" is a key component to establishing, and defending IP rights. Be warned, enforcing and defending intellectual property is expensive.

    Good luck! I hope you post your experience.

    You know that guy LAbull on L4P, that's me, Brendan. Warning: If I typed it and it seems a bit off, it's probably SARCASM.
