675.0. "Applying for a patent" by KAOT01::M_MORIN (Le diable est aux vaches!) Mon Apr 05 1993 15:01

Has anyone applied for a patent in Canada and/or he U.S?

If so can you fill me in on the process?  I received an information package
from the patent office that explains the application costs but nothing about
the costs of a patent agent.

My neighbour just got his patent and he said that the total process took 3 years
from start to finish, and that the total cost of everything together was about
$10,000.

Thanks,

/Mario

    That sounds about right from what I've heard .... :-(  terrible isn't
    it! ...  The lawyers win every time ...
    
    The best thing is to go for an initial consultation with a Patent
    Lawyer.
