Has anyone filed for a patent?

Or if you need a patent, let me know. Thanks

Just American patents, of course.

I've filed one. I'll have to dig around to find the number.

Why do you ask?

This relates to Skylines how? :confused:

What, are you trying to patent the Skyline in America??? Sounds like another excuse for MotoRex to jack up prices to me. :smoker2:

Gonthrax,

You have a patent? What did you patent? How much did it cost you? Who did you have to go through?

I patented a ratcheting string winder for a guitar. I seem to remember after filing all the papers, all told it cost me around $150 or so. I went called our state capital and asked what to do, they directed me to the US Patent office. I sent them a self addressed, stamped envelope and they sent me all the forms. I just sent in the forms, a blueprint of my winder and some info on it. A few months later I got some paper work back from them, I signed a few things, sent it back and that was it.

Hey Gonthrax,


What is your patent number? I would like to look it up, and read how you wrote it. Thanks

And what does Gonthrax mean?

Jay,

If you want to move this post I understand. Sorry about posting on the skyline page. I was not thinking, as usual:)

But, if you do manage to patent a Skyline, let us know how... (;))

Jay,

Just to let you know, you can not patent something that has already been designed.

What Gonthrax said about his patent is strange. It goes a lot deeper than just filling out some forms, and paying $150. I was told that just to get a design patent it would be $350. A design patent really does not do anything for you. I am very curious as to what is writen on Gonthrax's patent.

I have two but they were done by company lawyers at over $5K each --- with all the legalese, drawings, worldwide filings and rebuttals.

You got a bargain at 5k.
