I particularly like the last sentence of the privacy policy at the following URL. It's just...so...priceless, you'd really have to see for yourself.

http://www.inventor-link.com/privacy.htm

"Furthermore, we strictly prohibit any links and or other unauthorized references to our web site without our permission." How funny would it be if their site crashed? http://www.inventor-link.com/ I'm giggling just thinking about it. :)

they also prohibit linking to their site.

is text itself a link? nope, no anchor tag.

the bozo put his mug on the site too, he doesn't look that stupid, but I guess he is.

slashdot linked that thing on it's own. slashdot is BUSTED!

"The thing about inventing is that it is a continual and continuos process, and it is fluid. Inventions generate further inventions. In fact, that is where most inventions come from. They very rarely come out of nothinig."

"If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said: 'you can't do this'."

Your Idea or Invention Into the Market Now!

The excitement of conceiving a new invention can often blind good reason. New inventors are easily consumed by visions of super yachts and exotic sports cars all resulting from
their "eureka" moment.

The facts, however, paint a different picture. Over 98% of all inventors fail to earn more than they have spent on their idea. With such odds, it would behoove a new inventor to diligently assess their invention, and their strategy before committing significant amounts of time or money to their concept.

Do your homework

A good starting point for any new idea is to simply confirm that it is in fact a new idea. Years ago this was a mammoth task which either required the services of a skilled patent searcher, or spending numerous hours at a designated patent repository sifting through thousands of patent abstracts.

Though it is difficult to match the skills of one who is well trained in searching for relevant patents, with today's technology there are a number of resources available free to enable an inventor to independently make a preliminary search oftheir idea.

The United States Patent Office offers a free online search tool.
Some, however, may find it easier to use the patent search tool now available through Google. Whatever tool used, it is an easy and essential step that should not be overlooked.

Should you be unable to locate any patents that reflect the elements of your invention, do not assume someone else has not already conceived of the idea. In some cases new products are brought to the market with no patent p
