thanks i also came to a lightbulb, can i not with a working product get a patent pending and get investors...??? that would work wouldn't it? and save my wallet... (that stil means i need some significant investment...)

[SciManAl]

also is there way to dockument that i have the idea.. so that if it comes down to a who thought of it first that i can have proof??

Forget the patent attorney for now AL.
What you need first is a patent search to see if there is already a patent that covers your concept.
If not, then you can explore the idea with an attorney, but it is VERY expensive and time consuming.
You need to file a temporary app in several different countries so your idea doesn't get pirated before you can receive a real patent.
You will need several thousand dollars just to file the necessary applications, which require very specific drawings and a model.
My father and I have 4 patents on welding equipment so I have first hand experience with the process.
Chances are you will never see a penny.

Good luck.

the patent is your best bet but be careful with getting funding. Do you remebr the disposable cell which was suppose to hit the market well read this Story
so be careful also this board might count as doumentation. Print what you wrote out and try to find a program that will print the time on it and it is a program that you cant alter so it can hold legal scrutiny. MS word date proably wont work.

just make sure the attorney is a good one if it has real potential you dont want to go cheap and get screwed.

that is what i am using!! they offer no risk consultation with patent autournies... i am currently prepairing several essays to state the purpose who it works etc... i will try to get them dated with a program.. or at the very least get some signitures with dates on them (or what program has such a unchangeable date??
