As a test send in your idea. Have someone you know send in some lame idea. I guarntee you will both get letters saying you both have a great idea, etc. Please send money to process etc. Buyer Beware.

BIGBET, write to:

U.S. Dept of Commerce
Patent and Trademark Office
Washington, D.C. 20231

ask for a Disclosure Document form. Fill it out and send it back.
What it is is a discription of your invention (in your words), it's dated and on file with the Patent Office. This way if someone steals your idea you have proff you thought of it first. Thats all it is. It's not a patent application or anything close. It's proof you had the idea and when.....Scotty

How about a washing machine that's also a dryer ?

 

[volhound]

go to the post office and mail a description of the invention to yourself and never open it, unless your in a courtroom

 

[Mr.Smith]

apply for a patent yourself.

google it to figure out how.

sure, every invention is a longshot, but you have nothing to gain by giving it away.

one of my best friends from back home inherited some money from a deceased family member. anyway, he had an idea for an invention and he took it to one of those companies that advertise that they will take your idea and market it into a successful product.

Unfortunately, he spent his inheritance and nothing ever came from it.

Be skeptical and cautious, ask for references and best of luck.

i have checked the BBB on this one company, everything is satisfactory thus far, i think i will speak to a lawyer and go from there

BBB is crap, they never say anything bad about anybody ! Don't consider a lack of complaints to BBB to mean anything. It's a useless organization, they are probably afraid of lawsuits.

bigbet,

the dildo is already invented bro. give it up!!!


but if you must go on with this, try just contacting a lawyer to get the patent done....

 

[Doug]

I'm sure most people get screwed with inventions ! Percentage wise, it's against you.

You could easily blow a lot of money on this. I recall Ralph Cramden and Archie Bunker getting into this.

It better be something really revolutionary. I may be wrong, but I think most ideas are sold to big companies.

Good Luck !

Here's an old invention... the spork ( fork and spoon combo), usually plastic. Somebody thought of it!

It seems to be used by jails, hospitals, and restaurants you don't want to eat at.

Good idea, but did the inventor of the spork make millions ? I have no idea !
