Hello everyone!! I have a couple of inventions and have a prototype built for one of them(the other one will take some time and research). My question(s) are: What is my next step? Do I apply for a patent? Do I pay an attorney to do a search to see if my product is already patented?
How does licensing work? Is this an option?
The invention that I have a prototype built for is really pretty simple and very easy to make. It also makes it alot easier to accomplish a certain task(don't want to go into too many details yet). The second idea is just an idea at this point, but I really believe it could be something really popular and something that could help almost every one. It will take alot of research and development but will be worth it in the end.
I am really new to the "fastlane" ideals. Was raised to work hard and save my money. I have always had a desire to better myself and live life in the fastlane. The ideas for my inventions came to me pretty quickly and I decided to try and build them before seeing what it takes to patent or license them. I really do not know what my next step should be. I want to get the first idea done before I start with the second one so I don't get distracted or lose focus and get nothing accomplished with either one.
I would greatly appreciate anyone's input and advice on this. What do you recommend the next steps should be? All of your comment, suggestions, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!!:cheers:
Michael.
