Patents again...
Patents are supposed to be a "Protection" to the "Intellectual Property" or simply the "Idea"
Then I highly recommend to start saving bunches of "Legal Tender Notes"...
Before You sell it, you must protect your idea by open sourcing it on the net or a public domain, or public server where you could NOT change the "Uploaded Date"...like You Tube...then you have exactly 11 months to file your application with the USPTO.
Another way is to send an envelope to yourself (Idrancer to Idrancer) date stamped through the Federal Post Office and sealed with non removable clear tape...meant to be opened at the Court only by the Judge. not too safe either.
A Trademark is different, it works as you have written above, build it and sell it before filing application, because they will require a "specimen"...Patents don't.
And yes, agree with you, patents are BS, just designed for big Corps...that would eat alive the poor inventor.
The other "Big Lie" is that IF Your Patent reveals some "interest" to either one of the Two Federal Departments ABOVE USPTO...The DoD, and the DoE...Then you really have a big problem...no one could even "touch" that patent any more.
Ever heard of the "Inventor Secrecy Act" from the 1950's?...search and read it.
