Have any of you Phine Phriends ever invented anything and gotten a patent on it?
Just wondering if anyone can give pointers on avoiding pitfalls, or have any words of wisdom.
We have an invention, and we know we need a working model.
I will approach my brother if we phind we need an investor.
The part I'm unclear on is getting the patent, and getting it marketed. I imagine the internet would be the thing to use, huh?
Anyone?

My Dad invented and patented the reflective radar weather balloon after WWII.His patent was for a self inflating balloon that was released by downed sailors or airmen.
Dupont changed the mode of release and said SUE US,good luck!
So much for Dad collecting anything.
