How do I file a patent? What do I need to file a patent?

Send me your idea and I’ll file it for you

You will just take it, won’t you! Besides, it is extremely important. I’m talkin’ earth-changing here.

A good patent attorney and (probably) several years of patience.

I’ve filed tons of patents before. It’s really easy. But first, you’ll need to send me all the details of your invention: drawings, descriptions, pictures, etc. so I can take a close look at them and make sure everything is in order.
Really, I have no idea. But I would start

A patent attorney.
It is possible to file without one, but you’re very likely to screw it up if you’re not familiar with how it works. Depending on what you’re patenting it may be very simple, but it may also be very complicated as you may have to reference other patents and ensure your patent doesn’t infringe on anything else.

Crap. I researched my patent idea and I have to build a working model to patent it.

I’m not sending you anything, but I will tell you one thing: I have solved perpetual motion. I have figured it out.

If you’re going to pursue it, get down a provisional first. They’re dirt cheap and don’t require a lawyer. You just need to register with the US patent office. That gives you a year to get it figured out.

If you think you have an idea but are not sure about funding the process or the best way to go about it, start by filing a provisional patent. A provisional patent gives you a one-year extension from the disclosure date to file your full patent, and starts some of the documentation in place. A provisional patent will typically only be rejected for paperwork reasons, so it’ll give you some practice with the process with less risk. Once you go to the full process, you’re almost certainly going to need a patent attorney. The provisional patent gives you a little time and protection to start selling your invention, but it’s pretty much unavoidable that a defensible patent will cost around $10k in legal fees. If you absolutely have no way to come up with that money, your year-long grace period from the provisional is also a good time to look into licensing your idea to a company who will pay for your patent in exchange for either a cut of the royalties or some exclusive right to manufacture.
I filed a provisional patent on a project I made in undergrad, though we abandoned the patent due to lack of interest on the part of a few team members and a rather disappointing market analysis in terms of how we could sell it. My father is also a relatively prolific inventor with about a dozen patents, though most assigned to his employers.

Uspto explicitly bans those submissions. Their employees have enough to do without sorting through bullshit.

No, really, my perpetual motion device will not fail. Physics agrees with it in every way. I am a genius! Muah-ha-ha- no really, I figured out perpetual motion. And even better, it probably generates infinite energy!

Damn! But it really works and generates infinite energy! I hope it does. But I KNOW IT WORKS.

There used to be a cheeky way of filing a patent after the fact, which was by mailing your schematics and blueprints to yourself in a postmarked tamperproof envelope AND NEVER OPENING IT. Then when it came to registering the patent you could apply for it to be backdated to the date of the postmark by submitting the envelope with a lawyer. I doubt it still stands, but ya know, just in case someone else files a patent for an exactly matching device that proves perpetual energy...

Depends on the patent, but you’ll need an attorney and $5-10k

Then you need to show it to some physicists. USPTO throws all applications for perpetual motion patents in the trash.

And if you are a student or an exempt employee (salaried employee as opposed to an hourly employee, at least in the US) you probably unwittingly signed away your rights to any and all “inventions” you might dream up while you are a student or employee. Doesn’t matter if you claim the idea totally came to you while on your own time and was in no way related to school/work activities, unless you have more lawyers than they do, they own your idea. Good luck
(Full disclosure - I'm an engineer with US and World patents with my name on them, but I don't own any of them; my company claims them all)
