- I would dare say that the $800 is only what is required to do a "patent
- search."
- That is, they will see if your idea is patentable, then they will see if it
- already exists or not. This is just step one. Yes, the cost is A LOT more
- that 800.00.
-
- Just remember, if something sounds too good to be true (ie. instant wealth,
- etc), it usually is. Or if someone tells you that the offer is good today
- only, believe them - it will be good today only. Tomorrow it's anybody's
- guess. Good ideas always stick around. Any company worth dealing with will
- not pressure you into dealing with them. Fact is they will make you chase
- them.
-
- Good luck and I hope your invention goes well.
