Answer 1

Thanks for the recommendation Kent!

The company I work for does not deal with patents; however, I've accumulated some handy resources over time & am more than happy to share that with you.

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.

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!

Answer 2

Cheapest way would be to completely write down your idea on paper and be sure to include any illustations that are needed. Make copies and send copies to yourself and other people in case you lose your copy. Dont open the mail but keep it closed and in a safe place. The postal stamp has a date on it the would prove the actuall date and time of your invention in case someone comes up with the idea after you, you have proof. Cheap and easy.
