I'm not interested in using one of those places you see on tv or hiring an intellectual property lawyer. Any citizen can apply for patent, and I'd like to cut out all of the middlemen. My genius skills and things I've done with them never fail to amaze people. It's time for me to try putting some of my ideas to work, and on the market.
I guess I'm seeking an open minded investor, thanks for reading and wish me luck!

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!

If you're such a freekin genius, why hasn't anyone bankrolled you yet?
My guess: You're a legend in your own mind.
