This Halloween will be different. Depending where you are, trick or treating may be ill-advised or prohibited. So why not dress up your pet and take pictures from the safety of your own home? Here are a few patented pet costumes from the USPTO database to give you some ideas – your dog will not thank you, but why should 2020 be any better for him than the rest of us?

November 2, 2020 05:08 pmChris — do not attempt to take this journey alone (pro se). By the time you realize you’ve mad mistakes (and you will) — particularly in what you do and don’t say about your invention — it will be too late.
You don’t know what you don’t know; and many mistakes can never be rectified once you’ve file your application.
Start by investing in Gene’s Invent + Patent System (see ad this page) — a real steal for only $99.
DO NOT contact any companies before you have at bare minimum filed a provisional patent application.

November 2, 2020 10:15 amI have an idea for a pet accessory. It is a safety device, and a thing they wear. I’m working on a patent for it. Anybody know how to contact companies that sell/distribute these things? Thank you in advance!!!
