you have to go thru alot of **** to apply, special drawings, photos, etc..

you need a lawyer, there are fees to do a search if the patent exists, then

fees to apply, then fees to keep the patent going



I did a modification on a swimplatorm for a boat for which the owner

was applying for a patent, he never told me what it was but he told me

what he was going thru. I only modified the part of the boat, I didnt

see what he was mounting there
Government craps on the underdog yet again....

You need money, lots of it, and if you had it, you probably wouldn't be interested in a patent.
