I've contacted quite a few of those marketing agenices about getting my invention out into the public. They all want the same thing,,,,Money,,,,Lots of MONEY that I don't have. There must be a way without going back to school to learn how.

To protect an original invention OR a significant improvement to an existing product, a patent would be filed. Here's the USPTO's definition: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/general/index.html#patent
NOLO is a great, free informational site. Also, be sure to read what the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) has to say about patents.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Patent It Yourself (11th Edition) by David Pressman
* Patents and How to Get One : A Practical Handbook by U.S. Department of Commerce
* How To Make Patent Drawings Yourself: A Patent It Yourself Companion by Jack Lo
* The Inventor's Notebook: A Patent It Yourself Companion by Fred E. Grissom
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

First of all your idea or product must be completely original and unique. the best thing to do is to get with an attorney. Yes this cost money but you will be legally representedand most any attorney knows what to do.A good first tep is to get a Copyright. Copywrites are much easier to get and provide initial protection. Hope this helps.
