Scottsbluff, NE asked in Patents (Intellectual Property) for Nebraska

Q: Hi, how much will it cost me to patent a idea?

I've been thinking and talking to invent help, but I need to patent it first. And how long does it take to complete. And what should I do first?

A: I think the best place to start is by reading some patents that are in the field where you hope to obtain a patent. Getting a patent is hard. This will make more sense once you have read some patents and maybe looked at the arguments made during the process to examine the patent. This will get you started. https://bit.ly/Patent__Searching

I hope that this helps.
