Home > Protect and Patent

      Before spending thousands of dollars on a patent, you'll want to make sure your product idea is marketable and commercially viable. It would not be cost-effective to patent every product idea you have.

      In the United States, the first to conceive the idea gets the patent. While in the rest of the world, the first to file gets the patent. Therefore, you need to prove you came up with the idea first. Mailing the idea to yourself in a postmarked letter will not stand up in court.

     To learn how to protect your idea, as well as getting a patent, provisional patent, trademarks, and copyrights, you'll find the answers in my Booklet Protecting Your Idea Before Spending Money on a Patent.
