Reply To: Patents and licensing

Zxcvb, thanks again for your help.

Enahak, I wonder if you would be willing to post name of the attorney you recommend if the CR allows it.

As far as bypassing by making modifications, the texts of the patents I have read in the past usually include a lot of variations, and also say that they encompass other conceivable implementations of the core idea.

The reason I want to patent the idea, is that I want to make some money, but I have no interest in starting a company to produce the product I have in mind. There are plenty of them already, and I don’t want the hassle of running that kind of company. I am mainly in a totally different field.

As an example I found on the internet, suppose somebody has a good idea for some improvement on a car. He is not going to start another car company. So how else would I be able to get anything for my idea if I don’t patent it and sell the rights?
