    yep i have. Lawyer is the only route.
    If your sale price per unit is less than $50.00 it is not worth it. Patent Search is like $1200, and the patent applications can be upwards of $3K including attorney fees.

    and don't cheap out with one of those patent lawyers you see on late night television for 35 bucks.

    It can be an expensive and time consuming process. but if done right it can yield a great return of your investment. I would get it trade marked before you go for a patent that way you have your ass covered, JIC some one else tries to steal it you can go after them with cease and desist orders why you're waiting for the patent to go through.

    It's a piece that connects a piece to another piece and allowed a piece to do a function.... There will be a group buy in it soon... And wow, thanks for the info, I will be doing a lot of calling and research on it!
