    Chris — 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.

    I 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!!!
