New inventors are often afraid to talk to anyone about their idea for fear that it will be stolen. They have only a vague understanding of patents and trademarks. They don't know if, when, or how to hire a patent attorney. They may also lack the knowledge on how to successfully market their idea. As a new, independent inventor, this book will assist you as you navigate your way through the process from your initial idea to a successful commercial product. It tells you not just what to do, but exactly how to do it. Imagine the satisfaction of seeing your idea patented and/or trade marked!This book was written to help you creative but inexperienced independent inventors who have ideas for new products for consumers and commercial industries. Your product may include new and better tools, manufacturing fixtures, toys, medical equipment, holiday decorations, amongst many other ideas for new inventions designed for work, play, and everyday living. Although new product ideas differ greatly, the fundamental steps necessary to evaluate, protect, and market them are similar.

Will help you pursue your dreams and make them a reality while minimizing the money spent on patent attorneys.
