does anyone have experience with patenting? i have no clue.. but i think i have an idea that's going to make me filthy fucking rich (no, i'm not telling).. if it happens, i will personally buy every member of fb.net a pint of beer (domestic or imported)..
but yeah, has anyone actually done this? any advice? |

I'm sure the government hosts a patent website with all the info you need. I've seen those commercials where they're like "Call this number for a inventors packet of information," etc. I have a pretty good idea for an invention, unless it already exists.

Sounds like floop has been watching too much "invention exchange" aboard the Satellite of Love.

thanks guys.
yeah, i was talking to a friend of mine who's actually had some experience with it apparantly. and yes, apprantly it is a costly venture.
fuck.
plus, i wasn't aware that you had to have a "working model" of your idea.. that's more money hiring someone to desigin "it' and whatnot..
too bad i don't have that kind of scratch right now.
too bad for the world really, because my invention will completely revolutionize laundry (that's as much of a hint as i'll give)
oh well, back to my other recent project: trying to train my cat how to get me a beer from the fridge. |

| Solely for fun's sake (well I guess that's relative) has anyone ever had any ideas for inventions they wouldn't mind sharing? One of mine was a self-cooling pillow. Much like an electric blanket, only the reverse. |

| That'd be awesome. I CANNOT sleep on a warm pillow. Lots of times I flip it over seven or eight times before I get to sleep. |

The Chillow! That's awesome. I'd like to describe it if I may:
It's like sleeping in the shade with a gentle breeze.
Then later:
... super-comforting sensation which doesn't blow air, make noise, or cost money to run.
Is it like a gentle breeze or isn't it?! Just tell me the truth. :) |

Wow! I'm one who hates warm pillows and sheets just as much as the next guy. It's very difficult to fall asleep that way. We need a chilleet too...
