 Do you have an idea to patent?

Inventors like you -- and your ideas -- are as American as baseball and apple pie. Ideas are powerful because they lead to inventions. Inventions make daily tasks and products faster, simpler, more attractive, and more profitable. Typical inventions are physical objects, procedures, methods, and products. There are many types of inventions.

For an idea to be termed an invention, you must have an idea and then reduce it to practice. In other words, you must be capable of explaining how the idea will be reproducibly applied in a real world example. For instance, if an inventor conceives of a machine that can instantly transport a person from New York to Los Angeles, he has a great idea! But if the inventor actually knows how to build such a machine, he has a great invention. An idea needs to be more than just abstract to be an invention.
