What it is is a discription of your invention (in your words), it's dated and on file with the Patent Office. This way if someone steals your idea you have proff you thought of it first. Thats all it is. It's not a patent application or anything close. It's proof you had the idea and when.....Scotty

one of my best friends from back home inherited some money from a deceased family member. anyway, he had an idea for an invention and he took it to one of those companies that advertise that they will take your idea and market it into a successful product.
Unfortunately, he spent his inheritance and nothing ever came from it.
Be skeptical and cautious, ask for references and best of luck.

I'm sure most people get screwed with inventions ! Percentage wise, it's against you.
You could easily blow a lot of money on this. I recall Ralph Cramden and Archie Bunker getting into this.
It better be something really revolutionary. I may be wrong, but I think most ideas are sold to big companies.
Good Luck !
