invention
I’ve got plans for a gizmo that would take the strapless kiteboarding community by storm; I’m just not sure where I should start inquiring about who
would want orders. I think I may need to make a trip to the patenting office first.

Google has a patent search as well, you may not need to leave the house :eureka:
Best of luck. I know a guy who patented an idea, it's taken him all over the world, and now it's sold off and he's onto the next idea. The invention
dream is still alive and well in the world!

you don't really need an approved patent. I am pretty sure you just need to apply for a patent and that I hear is pretty simple. If the idea takes
off you proceed with the patent process like you always intended

If you are serious about the invention then I would be careful about doing searches your self if your invention has not been properly disclosded or
filed. I'd talk to an ip lawyer that can help you file if you've never done this before. He'll also help to you to determine where your invention
should be disclosed and what the rules are. For example if you post it on here (aka the public), then you are pretty much screwed from getting a
pattent int he EU.

I think I have heard that as well, (apply for patent), then proceed. I’m going to make the device myself first,
2. test and revise,
3. apply for patent,
4. then start looking for promoters.
If anyone here on PKF is as enthusiastic about strapless riding as I am I would be willing to discuss my idea over email or u2u.
I’ll say this much, although I haven’t tested the idea, I know for a fact my device will end up in everyone’s kite bag, or permanently with them when
strapless riding.
I’m going to the hardware store this weekend to make the first prototype for my next skim-session.
I won’t be able to reveal my idea unfortunately, until I have started distributing the initial promotional models. It will be worth the wait though.
Wish me luck! Oh, I will offer discounts to all PKF members!
:bouncy:
* i hate that feeling you get when you start talking about your ideas. The feeling in your gut that tells you," you better hurry before someone
thinks of it".
the worst is, when you see your idea on t.v. or in a magazine.

When my dad was a kid (probably like 1970's) he made this thing that was tape wrapped around a stick and a man walked up to him and asked him if he
could patent it. My dad, being only 12 years old, told the man that he could.
You may know of it as a chinese yo-yo.
Haha I could be rich right now off of a little festival toy.

The year was 1984-85... graphics were still done in green on a Tektronix or a monochrome Mac. I don't even recall what we were scanning on.
Somewhere, there is still hard copies of a computer generated diagram of something frighteningly similar to this based on a Yamaha XS400RJ.... complete with strain-gauges and tilt sensors. Life was interesting when it seemed that horizons were open and
endless.

11-year-old me's idea = cardboard periscope+low magnification to have a better view when in a crowd, was inspired by the pope being in town.
18 year old me finds out you can buy a "pope scope". :megan:

Bought that sort of thing for use on a skim board (on the shoreline, no kite). Worked ok, but didn't allow for very much movement of feet; you had
one jump onto the board, one chance to get your feet right.
Still have some of the velcro, really strong stuff.
