How do you patent ideas?

How do I find an investor to help me patent my valuable ideas? not those places you see on tv or a lawyer?

  • Anybody can apply for patent on thier own but I can barely afford rent and food right now. My ideas are very valuable to a wide range of people and industries.

    NOLO is a great, free informational site. Also, be sure to read what the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) has to say about patents. Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * Patent It Yourself (11th Edition) by David Pressman * Patents and How to Get One : A Practical Handbook by U.S. Department of Commerce * How To Make Patent Drawings Yourself: A Patent It Yourself Companion by Jack Lo * The Inventor's Notebook: A Patent It Yourself Companion by Fred E. Grissom There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

That is what we all think, but being in the research industry myself, I can guarantee you that only 1 patent out of 20 will actually become a commercially worthy investment. Instead of worrying about patents, seek ways of creating prototypes or any other tangible means of testing the real value of your idea. Another observation: most people will just sit on their "brilliant ideas" throughout their life, blaming external factors for not doing anything about it. Get it done. Talk to industry players. Visit relevant expos. Make contacts. Most people are not out to get you. :-)
