Do-it-Yourself Patents
Do-it-Yourself Patents
There are a slew of books (search "patent book") that can teach inventors the special legal-ese language needed when writing a patent. The trick is to make the patent broad enough to hinder competition, but specific enough to pass through the patent examiner. Don't be discouraged if your patent gets rejected the first time, this happens to everyone. Just revise & refile.
Software has come out that also makes it easier for you to write your own patent. Two well known packages are PatentEase and Patent Wizard.
Also, it's been recommended that you don't write a patent until you have a working prototype since many things change when the idea takes physical form. Another low-cost option would be to write part or all of the patent yourself, and review it with a patent attorney for good measure.
All in all, writing part of the patent yourself can be a good option for cash-strapped individuals. More information on patenting inventions yourself can be found at www.ideatango.com.
