Question For Bob

January 31, 2011 by  

Hi Bob,

My name is Rick Schumacher and I have been enjoying your newsletter now for about six years. I really appreciate your insights and since I trust you I need to ask for some advice. Do you have any advice for me on how to go about getting an idea/product patented? Right now I only have the idea and haven’t made the product. I want to make sure that I don’t get ripped off and maximize profits.

Thank you,
Rick Schumacher

Dear Rick Schumacher,

You should document all the information you can about your idea/product, then have it notarized in order to establish that the idea is yours and fix a date on it. This will help you in the event someone tries to steal your idea and you have to go to court. You can obtain information about the process and the necessary paperwork to patent your idea/product at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. If the process seems overwhelming to you, I suggest you obtain the services of a good patent attorney. You can find one through your local bar association.

Best wishes,
Bob

    Hi Bob, I like reading your article’s. I was reading the post about getting a patent and wanted to say you are right to go to the governments web site and to get a good patent lawyer. I am in the process right now getting my invention a patent number, but I warn you it is very expensive I have spent well over 3000.00 and I am at the tail end of the process, just waiting to hear back from the patent office to see if they are going to give me a patent number for my invention. I am excited because I am sure it is worthy of a number and I want to sell it as soon as I can to the highest bidder after I get my patent number. You have a great day and keep up the good work.

    God Bless,
    Kimberley Iannelli
