Patent Question

[GrensonMan]

Greetings all,

Spent the afternoon doing a patent search for an idea I had and so far it's come up clean. I read about the process of filing for a patent and it mostly just looks arduous as apposed to difficult.

However, I have some specific questions that some of the forum members might be able to help me with.

Is the patent process the same if my invention requires the use of another technology? Lets say that I have invented something that runs on batteries. Since batteries are their own separate invention, how would that work? Another example might be a laser pointer where maybe I improved the way the light shines. Since a laser pointer is a separate invention but I am bootstrapping my improvement to it, is that even something that can be patented?

Another questions using my laser pointer example. There are lots of laser pointer companies out there. Would they all pay royalties to the original patent owner assuming it is still within the 20 year patent grace period?

Thank you for your time and answers.
