That's good news. Patents, eh? My hubby has a couple of things he's developed he's thought about getting patented - but it seems like the patent process can be difficult and expensive. Yes? No?

Yes. No.

Costs about $5000 for an individual inventor. Takes a year or so depending on your examiner. I can recommend a good Patent Atty, and a book:

THE INVENTOR'S BIBLE
Ronald Louis Docie, Sr.
Ten Speed Press
ISBN 1-58008-304-8
