Posted by Dan under ScamsThis was a comment from a previous post about the Patent and Trademark Institute that we thought was important to answer as its own post:
Q: “Patent and Trademark Institute is being investigated by the New York Attorney General’s Office …”
AFTER READING THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM SO GLAD THAT I DIDN’T
FOLLOW THROUGH WITH DAVISONS! DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY LEGIT COMPANYS TO GO THROUGH? I HAVE A GREAT IDEA THAT I AM DYING TO PATENT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
A: You should look at the web site inventored.org to see if an invention promotion company has any complaints against them. You should also do an Internet search on the company before sending them any money. Also, it is best to have a United States utility patent application on file before talking to anybody interested in either buying or licensing your idea. You should contact the Law Office of Steven B. Leavitt, L.L.P. at 941-331-4343 for a free 4-point patentability analysis to see if your idea is patentable.
This is just a general summary and it would be best if you discussed the issue with a registered patent attorney. Please be advised that I do not know the details of any particular situation you may have,and am just discussing the general state of the law.
if someone has what he/she thinks is a idea that has great potential of being manufactured , licensed , patented , ect . and has no funds to get started how can their idea become reality . is there a way to obtain the money or get financial help to proceed ? if there is will you share this information with me ?
