Thanks Kurt,
From viewing other patents I figured it was all over my head and so I
am totally going to have it professionally done.
I found an older attorney who came with a good reference. Funny thing is he doesn't have a computer in his office! Maybe he keeps it hid. At least the item I invented is in response to the mediocre products currently on the market that I hope to enter. Identifying a real need and going up against a line up of lousy products is an inviting situation. I read in the business section of the paper that taking on a market filled with poor products is a good strategy versus trying to do something super risky like trying to make a better air graver than Steve's.
That would be risky. At least there is a real need for an improved product with the item I am making. This is the kind of product where just mentioning what it is could reveal too much as most people aready agree with me that there needs to be a better one.
