How do I go about getting my idea patented so that before I go to manufacturers it is sealed up and they can’t send me on my way but use my idea? Does it cost money to patent…if so how much?

Before discussing your invention with anybody it is always best to have either a provisional patent application or a utility patent application on file with the Patent and Trademark Office. It does cost money to get a patent and how much depends on what your invention is, the amount of prior art there is that relates to your patent, and the law firm you use to write the patent application for you.

put in it what you want. What I need to know do I need to trade mark, or patent the idea I am using in there product, or can I?
PLEASE HELP
A patent protects how something works or, in the case of a design patent, how something looks. For a device to be protected by a utility patent, the device must have utility or some usefulness. A trademark is a word, phrase, logo, sound, smell, or almost anything else that is used to identify the goods or services from others with the same or similar goods or services. You may be able to get a patent that adds features or builds on somebody else’s idea, so long as what you have added is  tentable. It would be best if you would contact our office at 941-331-4343 to discuss the issue and specific facts of your  situation.

We cannot help you find a buyer for your patent but after you have found a buyer, you can assign it to them. The assignment should be filed with the PTO and once the patent is assigned to them, they own all the rights to the patent.
