    I have an awesome idea. All your daughters are going to love playing with this thing. Yiddishe nachas. Yiddishe cuteness!

    But how on earth do I begin? I need a industry in China to start manufacturing, I need a patent, I need a lawyer? Please advise.

    Money will be no object, as I have a very rich father, the GROISE TATE IN HIMMEL, who said in “I will bless you in everything you DO”. The point is we have to do the hishtaldus.

    Just tell us the idea, and I’ll figure out how to patent it.

    Make sure yo umail your self your idea and leave the envelope sealed. That will serve as proof of when you had your idea in case anyone tries to make it theirs.

    Get an artist or designer to draw it out (if that is what is needed) (my dad used to be that person) and bring the whole “idea” to a manufacturer or producer of that item, such as a toy manufacturer, publisher etc. You hire a patent lawyer to submit the idea for a patent somewhere during this process and to advice you on how to make sure your idea is not stolen.

    If they like your idea, they may buy it and worry about production themselves.

    Is it a book about the CR, posters, threads, posts, mods etc?

    Ideas are in your head. Patents and trademarks require a lawyer

    Syag Lchochma- excellent advice, just to add on to it- nowadays you can often print a model with an online 3D printing service. If you have an actual model it might be easier to sell the idea to a mass manufacturer.

    keep in mind you should not discuss this with anyone without having a non disclosure agreement completed.

    also, you need someone to do a product search to see if there is anything similar on the market.

    try to get a referral from someone you know that is honest and will not rip you off.

    do not make a corporation for your business before seeing if this item is doable.

    Sharp and pixelate : I don’t know how long you’ve been following here? If you have you would remember that always runs had some disappointments (to put it mildly), and then stopped writing.so I wanted her to know I was thinking about her and her children….

    a mamin, I find it unfathomable how other folks in the coffee room are able to sort and discriminate who is who and what happens to whom. I just sort of log in and every user looks and seems like the next and its just a name next to their post. The only one who stands out of the crowd to me is Goq and Poppa.

    But how on earth do you remember my life stories?

    Well thanks for asking, and we’re doing fine, thank G-d.

    This is what the copyright office has to say on the matter:

    Of course you need to take into account that they may be biased, they’re in the business of selling copyright protection.

    In response to your post, hopefully you have already conceived of your idea. That is the first stage of invention.

    You need to decide what your idea is: is it a new invention- (device, process of doing something, material, etc)? Then it may be patentable.

    Is it a writing, music, etc. Then go for copyright.

    Is it is a design of the product or name that identifies you as the source of origin-then trademark.

    I’m guessing it is a patent. Try to design a drawing or try to build it or have a factory build it.

    The other thing you can do is search Google or Google patents. Try to see if your idea is out there before you waste money.

    Then try to find a patent agent or attorney. The patent office maintains a database of them. Google it. Find one in your area. A patent agent would probably be cheaper as they don’t have a law degree but they are effectively the same as an attorney.

    You can also represent yourself, but it isn’t a good idea, because its much harder.

    Hope that helps.

    Dash – not surprised. This was just something I remember my dad doing 20-30 years ago.
