GreatNrthern Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I'm looking to patent a couple inventions and I really don't know the best way to go about it..there are the ads from companies on tv, but I'm sure they take a big chunk from whatever you make, if you make anything...Does anyone know a better way? I'd appreciate some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hmm... First off if you are trying to patent anything I came up with I'm going to hunt you down and pull your asshole up over you're ears. But if you seriously do want to patent something I would be skeptical about those companies on tv as I recently learned about some of them ripping off peoples ideas. I would check with Better Business Bureau or Consumer Watch before I dealt with them especially about something so important. dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiffer Jet Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 i remember reading somwhere you could hold a patent by going to yoru public library and signing papers. i'm probably wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Call 4-1-1 on your phone and ask for the number to the U.S. Patent office. That would make sence to me. Ask them all the questions that you need answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoink Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I friend use to work for one of those late night tv 1800 invention commercials companies, he fucking had to take calls from idiots all over trying to invent the next big thing, The best one I can remember was a dude that just figured out you can take out the filling in a cigar and put in other "smokeable herbs" he thought he could take a bunch and market them to the stoner market. Yes he thought he invented the concept. (thats the funny part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crave Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 i don't know of any websites that help you patent something. but i do know that there are plenty of books published on the topic. my suggestion would be to, go to the bookstore, copy down the information you need, patent your shit, and let know how it works out for you.

villain Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by ~KRYLON2~ dont you have to pay a fee to patent an invention The shit costs mad loot. I'm talking hundreds of dollars. Not only that but you need diagrams and a working model! I guess that's why there's so many companies who want you to submit you're idea to them and if they like it they invest in it and you gotta give em a cut. I've looked into this stuff a little before. It's alot easier to copywrite stuff. Maybe I should just stick to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick5542 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 i have no idea about how to patent anything but a cheap way to copyright some shti is to take it (a song or story or whatever) and put it in an envelope and send it to yourself so that if someone says its theres you can prove when you did it by the postmark date on the envelope and just dont open the envelope til tha shit pops off in court.

villain Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Sometimes websites are legal to copywrite you're materials. I don't quite remember the exact details. Actually one of the factors deterring a patent is if it has been written and published somewhere before. I'm not so sure how forums would compute as publication.
