alright here is the deal. I am a 13 year old inventor, i have shown all of my inventions and ideas to my friends,family,teachers, and even random people. The good thing is every single one liked all of them. I have different types of inventions some include gadgets, imrovements to current items, and even buisness idea's. I know that you can get a patent but they are too expensive for my budget ($200). I want to a place or somone in illinois that would possibly be intrested in some of my ideas. I am a very determend person and work hard every day.

Getting a patent is a pretty complicated process so I'd suggest getting an adult to help you with this & to have them take a look at the following resources. I think it's great that you're so creative & inventive at such a young age!
NOLO is a great, free informational site. Also, be sure to read what else the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) has to say about patents.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
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!
