QUESTION

How do I protect myself and my invention?

Asked on Mar 09th, 2011 on Patents - Oregon
More details to this question:
A patent attorney told me that the "synergy" of my invention was patentable, but cost prohibitive for me to pursue on my own. He suggested I find a manufacturer and make a contract with them to produce and patent my invention. Is this a good idea? I have found a manufacturer. What do I do now?

Only show it to them under a tight nondisclosure. Remember without a patent you don't own anything and cant protect your invention. It is hard to try to negotiate a sale for right you don't own.
