Get protection

I have had the idea of Product X for years now but I'm getting anxious about someone else coming out with the idea so I am meeting with a Patent Attorney tomorrow morning to get Product X protected!

Another bonus, I will be able to speak freely about my invention but I'm not sure that'll be a good thing...I might just ONLY talk about Product X!

I keep doing searches for an invention like mine and hold my breath as Google searches (and patent searches on us.gov) but so far, so good...looks like I'm the only one out there so far!

Like any Momtrepreneur headed off to audition for a reality show, I have to get my outfit together. I have the shoes and bag, now all I need is a brightly colored dress/outfit. This is fun stuff! I get to shop and tell my Husband, it's ALL for the show!

And yes, of course I needed new make-up, sunglasses and jewelry...this is a one time shot after all! :)

  1. Hi Tracy,
    Yes, it does cost a lot for patent protection and the thing is that if a big company wants to copy it, they will. Even with a Patent. They will just have their engineers change it enough that they will get away with it.
    They won't copy it till you make some money and it sells.
    The good thing about the show is that they will try and protect you because they have a vested interest.
    I see that I will be auditioning before you, so I guess I am going to have to tell you all about it. :)
    I am going to call today and ask a few questions. I will come back and post them here for you.
    My product is for your purse. I just sourced some new materials that I want to change on mine, so I will be doing that today.
    Also need to work on the audition outfit. :)
    Have a great day.
