I have a design idea for a guitar case, I want it patented and made, but how?
I have a magnificent idea for a guitar case, and I want to know how to patent it and get it made and sold. Any help?
P.S. I'm a little young to be designing things, but it really is a great design.

Look in the yellow pages for an attorney who specializes in getting things patented. There are usually, no more than two. Consult with one, and they can advise you.

First, you may want to shop it actual "commerce secret" till to procure non-disclosure agreements from all people you want to judge it. 2d, you may want to take your effective theory to a effective patent criminal specialist for effective suggestion. once you divulge your theory to all people, except they have shriveled in the different case, they could right this moment commence to apply your theory freely and assume you'll in no way acquire a patent or sue them. contained in the three years it takes you to get a patent, there'll no longer be any marketplace on your invention, and also you received't have the $750,000 that it might want to take to sue someone for infringement. Be quite careful who knows about your theory as you mould it into a precise invention.
