ok.. so I have an hour commute to and from work everyday. I get alot of time to think about things. Today I was driving home and I got this great idea for an awesome invention the everyone will want. I won't tell you what it is because you jerkfaces will steal my idea and take all the glory (read: money).
Does anyone know what the process is for inventors who are looking to maket their product? Do I sell my idea to a company? How do I get a patent? How do I know if no one has invented one of these handy-dandy-thingamabobs yet? If they have, they haven't marketed it right cause I sure as hell want one
Help! what do I do from here. How do I go from idea to deed.
One free super-miracle-device-a-rino for whoever helps me out.

Check online for the US Patent office. Get a patent first. Then your invention is protected.
The US Copyright office has forms and info and such online, so i'm sure the patent office does as well.
btw, nice avatar, pomme. metroid like a muthafuckaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

There is a US government website set up for this sort of thing. I can't remember the address though.

The idea is so simple, it HAS to work. It's losely based on a toy from the seventies, but I've given this tired old rag a patented pomme de terre twothousanditization.
I could literally build a prototype for this thing in my bedroom. BUT YOU CANT, so dont go muckin around and stealin my idea you hear! *shakes franticly and looks behind his back*
oh my god its perfect. easy to use, can be mass produced cheaply, could be used by childeren, college kids, middleaged office dudes, grandparents...
not since the number 2 pencil have we seen a device with such magnitude.
yes sirree bob, this is nothing short of a revolution.
I'm setting up a paypal account now so that i may begin accepting preorders (an unpredicted spike in demand will cause a limited supply for the first few months)

i suggest you get a plasma beam and varia suit in case space pirates come and try to steal your product in the hopes of conquering the universe.

In sweden at least there are, if I remember correctly, organisations/foundations that one can call and they'll sort of guide you through the process.
All I know is that it will probably cost you a lot of money and time to get it out, very few succeed.

Ah man there is this website called inventors guild or something. I have an idea too.
No one will steal your idea trust me. I was watching a show on inventing the other day and the guy made a good point. People steal movies and music ect ect. People arnt going to steal an idea because well it takes money to launch your idea. No one does it for you. You have to make your proto type and DIY : \
I was kind of bummed out but Im not done yet I think. If I get any info Ill let you know !!!

over here in australia, there are places that handle these things,.. you pitch the idea to them, thye handle it in confidentiality, and decide whether or not to take it, maybe there is something like that where you live
search the internet, that's my only advice

get your product as close to perfection in prototype as possible, then release it and watch some big company either bend your idea (to avoid patenting) and sell for half the price, or attempt to buy your idea for peanuts
