Destiny is not a matter of chance;
it is a matter of choice.
It is not something to be waited for;
but, rather, something to be achieved."

Beginning Steps for Inventors
As an individual in the early idea stages, are you experiencing excitement and frustration right now? On the one hand, do you see the rewards and potential of your idea while simultaneously being plagued by a multitude of confusing questions about how to start, who to go to, who to trust, how much it will cost, and whether your idea is even worth pursuing?
If so, you're not alone. In more than a decade of guiding thousands of inventors, I've found that most people with new ideas have little or no experience in commercializing a product, and usually work at a full-time job. So it's very understandable that they may not have the knowledge, time or resources to develop and launch a new product.
My belief is that education should be your first priority in developing your new idea...

CLIENT COMMENTS
Thank you for the helpful information and I will be in touch again soon
as I make further progress.
I thought you might like to know that I took Stephen's advice and spoke
directly with the Patent Examiner reviewing one my applications...
After speaking with me, he then reversed his ruling, extended the review
date for another three months, told me more or less what language he wanted
me to use in my application and then called my attorney to relay all of this
same information to him as well.
Naturally, my attorney called me up and was shocked. So, I cannot thank you enough for your suggestion Stephen.
