Step by step. I have this idea and now have access to the required technology. This process may make it possible that particular 914 replacement parts could be created. But I need to get my design idea patented before I do anything else. Your shared experience is greatly appreciated. I can be contacted directly at roger@grubb.net Thanks, Roger |

I would think about filing for a provisional patent.
This is the first step, and gives you a whole year to dig deeper, build some really good arguements, and possibly even see if the idea is viable. the provisional patent is basically a date holder, so you still need to use NDA paperwork to protect the idea from someone who may steal it. Otherwise, it locks in the date of the initial provisional patent (when and if you ever get a utility patents) Rich |
