Years of idea's on a collection of notepads! I've seen them come to life(Just not through me)I don't know where to begin. I've spent thousands then stopped, as they (the Co.) requested more $. I was uncertain if it was a legitimate Co/business. My question is, when taking a product to a show should I file for (at least) a patent pending or ?, as well as HOW and who is legit or how to find a reputable/reliable/trustworthy company that does patents? With Great Appreciation. S

I have been searching for patents also....someone I can trust to market my idea to save peoples lives. Didn't google have a 20 million offer for something like this a while back? I have already had intventec put my ideaa in a book for 1000.00....I guess the next step is to market it myself?

Thanks, right off the bat, they are $3000.00 cheaper than what I paid to put 1 idea in a book. They did a bunch of research to check on any possible existing patents and how my idea would impact people. This one in particular was safety, so the book gave great statistics on several different issues however, I'm guessing no different than all the research 'inventec' (is the Co. name?) did for you, except, as I mentioned $3000. cheaper. The best to you and I will periodically be back here, if you find out something, please post and I will do the same. Never-the-less the first step is to start going to these shows! I'm sure the answers are there!

All people deserve wealthy life and credit loans or just short term loan can make it much better. Just because people's freedom is based on money.
