I just made up a recipe, and thought about getting a patent on it. But I want to make sure that I'm not copying off of anyone else. Even though I haven't seeing or heard of anyone doing this recipe. And how do I go about getting it patent, if it's original?

Searh for it on the web. If you don't find it then it probably is original. Be sure to use and name or description possible.
Good Luck!

My theory is that there is no such thing as an original recipe.
Even when I think that I have made up something new, I'm sure someone somewhere has tried that same thing!
I'm not too sure that you can patent a recipe and even if you could someone could change one small ingredient and call it their own.

I think the best thing is to realize that any recipe can be orginal by changing 1 ingredient. I suggest googling for recipes to see if it is out there. Or go to the bookstore and look in cook books!

Try typing the ingredients part of the recipie into www.google.com and see if anything turns up. That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

You can try to look it up on different websites to see if it on one of those. One I go to a lot and see many of different versions is recipezaar.com. You can go there and put the name of yours in and see what it brings up.

Why would you patent a recipe?
